How to enable Intel Quicksync encoding?

[videobruger]

And maybe I should add to the question "When Right click Desktop -> Screen resolution can't be accessed".

I have a computor with an i7-3770 Ivy Bridge CPU and use Windows 8.1. For video output the computor uses a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 display adapter and doesn't have a video port on the motherboard.

As I understand it it should be a simple 2-step process to enable the use of Quicksync for video encoding.

STEP 1: Enable the Intel on-board display adapter in BIOS. Done that. Shows up OK in Device Manager.
STEP 2: Connect the Intel display adapter to a fake VGA monitor by rigth-clicking the desktop and select Screen resolution. However doing so I get the error: "The remote procedure call failed".

I've asked for help in the Microsoft Community with a Youtube video of the problem to no avail and wondering if anybody at Videohelp could help - apart from suggesting starting all over with re-install of OS.

My own thoughts are along the line of using Powershell to manually set "some" property in Win32_VideoController (perhaps VideoModeDescription) but I'm just a dabbler here so any help would be appreciated.

Does your encoder software support QS?

[videobruger]

Yes.

MediaCoder for example returns with this error:

014
Description: A video encoder error is encountered
Possible causes:
Video encoder cannot be started as expected
Video encoder is absent

HandBrake doesn't offer QS as an option.

So I believe QS needs to be enabled somehow.

Do you have the driver for the intel display adapter installed?

[videobruger]

Yes driver installed.

What does the driver tab say ? What driver version and date ?

Does the resources tab show any conflicts ?

[videobruger]

No conflicts
