hi , I've got the silver version, and I've tried to use engine 1,2 and extreme which look like faster. However, I see that it actually always work with crystal engine. Is there any minimum hardward requirement for those engines to function? I m running on Intel i5 2400 with 8GB Ram with on-board display card. (No external display card)

Another question is - The image file generated by VTM always come with another file *.vtx. I 'don't need it at all. Is there any option of not generating such file , instead of deleting them??

Engine 1,2 and Extreme engine use your system codecs (codec pack). So you need to install one. You can use CCCP codec-pack, or K-Lite codec pack.

You can select all desired output in Environment window (F3 hotkey). Just set VTX checkbox off.

By the way, VTX allows you to start video right from desired scene.
