IMFMediaEngine

Question

Hi, please, what is the purpose of IMFMediaEngineEx::SetRealTimeMode method ?

And how to reduce GPU usage and prevent frame-skipping/stuttering when playing multiple IMFMediaEngine at the same time ?

Answer 1

Hello,

1) Real time mode is designed for live communication scenarios.

2) Reduce the total bitrate of the videos that you are trying to play. Use CBR rather than VBR content. Review your D3D swap chain code to make sure it is not causing the bottleneck. Use Visual Studio to see if you can identify the bottleneck.
