计算机仅用于工作的日子已经一去不复返了。现在，人们越来越多地花时间在电脑上来满足他们的娱乐需求。如今^(Nowadays)，人们越来越多地在笔记本电脑上下载和观看视频，而VLC多年来一直是媒体播放器^{(Media Player)}的首选。

但是，有时您想通过观看视频来娱乐但没有靠近任何电源。在本文中，我们将讨论硬件加速，这是^{(Hardware Acceleration)}VLC 媒体播放器^{(VLC Media Player)}中的一项功能，可让您观看视频而不必担心电池充电。

什么是硬件加速

硬件加速^{(Hardware Acceleration)}是一种高效的视频解码机制。如果没有硬件加速^{(Hardware Acceleration)}，CPU会完成所有解码工作，但问题是CPU没有针对视频解码进行优化，因此在此任务中效率不高，因为它消耗更多功率。

然而，通过硬件加速^{(Hardware Acceleration)}，解码任务被转移到为此任务优化的图形^(Graphics) 处理单元^{(Processing Unit)}( GPU )。因此，这项工作将很快完成，您计算机的GPU和CPU将不那么活跃。

唯一需要注意的是，并非所有视频编解码器都支持硬件加速^{(Hardware Acceleration)}。支持的格式之一是H.264，因此，您应该尝试下载MP4文件，因为它们可以与Hardware Acceleration一起正常工作。

因此，如果您希望您的电池使用时间比平时更长，请在 VLC 中激活硬件加速^{(activate Hardware Acceleration in VLC)}。

在 VLC 中激活硬件加速^{(Hardware Accelerationin VLC)}非常简单。您只需要遵循以下步骤，就可以了：

1. 启动 VLC 媒体播放器
2. 单击工具^(Tools)选项卡
3. 选择首选项^{(Preferences)}
4. 或者只需Ctrl + P即可启动Simple Preferences。
5. 转到Input / Codecs选项卡
6. 将硬件加速解码^{(Hardware-accelerated decoding)}更改为自动^(Automatic)
7. 单击保存^(Save)。

额外提示^{(Bonus Tip)}：使用“电影和电视”真正节省电池

如果您真的想节省电池电量，请尝试使用Movies & TV。它是Windows订阅服务和媒体播放器。这个应用程序最好的部分是，与微软^(Microsoft)以前的尝试不同，它并不慢，并且具有媒体播放器必须具备的所有基本功能。

由于它是由Microsoft开发的，因此可以在^(Microsoft)Windows平台上进行完美优化。

访问它非常简单，只需双击一个视频，它将与“电影和电视^{(Movies & TV)}”一起启动。

但是，如果您已经使用过 VLC 媒体播放器^{(already used VLC Media Player)}，那么您需要右键单击视频，然后单击Open with > Movies & TV.

希望这有助于您在欣赏高清视频的同时节省电池电量。

Activate Hardware Acceleration in VLC Media Player to save battery

Gone are the daуs, when computers were only used for work. Now, people are more and more sрendіng time on the compυters to fulfill their entertainment appetite. Nowadays, people are more and more downloading and watching videos on theіr laptops and VLC hаs been a go-to Media Player for ages.

However, there are times when you want to be entertained by watching videos but are not near any power supply. In this article, we are going to discuss Hardware Acceleration, a feature in VLC Media Player that allows you to watch videos without having to worry about the charge of the battery.

What is Hardware Acceleration

Hardware Acceleration is an efficient video decoding mechanism. Without Hardware Acceleration, CPU does all the decoding work but the problem is that the CPU is not optimized for video decoding and therefore is not efficient in this task as it consumes more power.

However, with Hardware Acceleration, the decoding task gets transferred to the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) which is optimized for this task. Therefore, the job will be done in no time and the GPU and CPU of your computer will be less active.

The only caveat is that not all video codecs support Hardware Acceleration. One of the supported formats is H.264, so, you should try to download MP4 files as they work fine with Hardware Acceleration.

Activating Hardware Accelerationin VLC is pretty simple. You just need to obey the following steps and you will be good to go:

1. Launch VLC Media Player
2. Click on the Tools tab
3. Select Preferences
4. Or just hit Ctrl + P to launch Simple Preferences.
5. Go to the Input / Codecs tab
6. Change Hardware-accelerated decoding to Automatic
7. Click Save.

Bonus Tip: Use “Movies & TV” to really save battery

If you really want to save your battery then try using Movies & TV. It is a Windows subscription service and a media player. The best part about this app is that unlike previous attempts by Microsoft it is not slow and has all the essential features that a media player must-have.

And since it is developed by Microsoft it is perfectly optimized to work on the Windows platform.

Accessing it is pretty simple, just double-click on a video and it will be launched with “Movies & TV”.

But if you have already used VLC Media Player then you need to right-click on the video and click Open with > Movies & TV.

Hopefully, this has helped you in saving the battery while enjoying HD videos.
