I have a program that currently uses the Intel Media SDK for video encoding. The sdk has not been updated in a while and the exact version of libmfxsw32.dll is: file version 4.12.12.3 and product version 4.0.0000.... so it's a fairly old version we are using.
We are investigating two things. 1. Updating to new 32 bit binaries from the 2016 Media SDK that was recently released. 2. Updating our application to 64 bit. After doing either 1 or 2 the performance is noticeably worse. Simply putting the older dll back fixes the problem but I do not have the older 64bit binaries.
Is it possible to get an older version of the SDK with sample code and open source so that I can get access to older 64 bit dlls?
Is there anything in particular that I should look for that may explain this performance degradation?
