Hi,

 

Seems my notebook nVidia G102M is fully supported :(

 

flips-MacBook-Pro:~ flip$ /Users/flip/Downloads/VDADecoderChecker ; exit;

Hardware acceleration is fully supported

 

Cheers

Lion DP4 and Gtx460 1gb

 

An error was returned by the decoder layer. This may happen for example because of bitstream/data errors during a decode operation. This error may also be returned from VDADecoderCreate when hardware decoder resources are available on the system but currently in use by another process.

VDADecoderCreate failed. err: -12473

ATI 5770/1GB via graphics enabler on 10.6.8

 

The hardware does not support accelerated video services required for hardware decode.

Small command line tool that checks the capabilities of your graphics hardware & OS to decode h264 videos on your GPU. Apple doesn't seems to allow all GPU's to use the System Framework, despite the fact that they have the hardware capabilities (like Geforce 8800 or Fermi cards). The tool have the same error codes like other VDA Software (XBMC) but its easier to test. On Lion with current Fermi drivers i get an error by the decoder. You can try it and post your software & hardware combination. requires Mac OS X 10.6.3 SourceCode on GitHub Feel free to contribute on Github Download precompiled binary (Intel 32/64-Bit):

 

could it be good for vaio problem:

Technical Note TN2267

Video Decode Acceleration Framework Reference:

This reference describes the Video Decode Acceleration framework available on Mac OS X v10.6.3 and later with Mac models equipped with the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, GeForce 320M, GeForce GT 330M, ATI HD Radeon GFX, Intel HD Graphics and others
Maybe it enabled only on mobile GPU's? But desktop GPU's should also have the requirements.

Is there any way to really run the h.264 tests to see if they are accelerated?

yep - watch a H.264 video in your preferred browser and check the console. if hardware acceleration is active you'll see something like this -

add to that, processor usage will be very insignificant.
