Render and Hardware video decoding

[breese]

I have been messing around with finding out if rendering is faster with our without hardware video decoding.
Should I have to re-render every sequence if I change the Hardware video decoding?

Video decoding on: Render a sequence.
Quit XLights, restart XLights
Turn off video decoding.
Open sequence: Play - House and Model previews do not work until I re-render.

Anyone else see this or is this normal?
