ATI GPU transcoding app?

i just got a 4850 and can't find the avivo package on their site. Anyone know where i can get it from

Pick the drivers for your OS and you'll find AVIVO too, it's on the same page as the actual download links for that OS

 

Not working for me I get

Avivo™ Package available soon

as the red text link. Its not clickable unlike the other downloads there

 

I dont get that
but it does say
"**Avivo Video Converter will only work with X1000 series products"

https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/6-12_xcode_38463.exe

 

i guess its not avalible for vista 64bit nor windows 7. Only xp and vista 32bit.

That sucks. I thought i needed it for the decoding accleration in some apps

 

it WAS available for Vista64 too, I downloaded it when it was, don't have a place to host it right now though

edit:
According to filename, it's the same on both Vista32 & 64: 8-12_vista32-64_xcode_72277

 

8.11 avivo

For decoding?Nope, you don't need it.

 

well looks like power director is using stream now

Better still: It works most of the time!

 

Will you write an article about this update?

 

i'd love to hear about it cause i still can't get avivo for windows 7 or vista 64bit. Kind of a sucky release if you ask me. I'm going to be taking alot of footage of my new nephew when he is born tommorow and I want some more power when convertin to dvds or blurays for family members

 

x64 is not supported atm, nothing new here.

 

I'm about finished (almost).

 

Looking forward to it. I think it's wise to read rather than wasting a weekend playing with it.

 

It's online now, albeit only in german.

In short: Cyberlinks Power Director uses the Avivo Transkoding Package to accelerate Video-Encoding. As such, it has the same limitations and advantages as with the original Avivo Package wrt to speedups or quality.

Good thing is, there's an MPEG-2-Encoding acceleration, what is currently missing in the Nvidia-portion of Power Director. OTOH though, not all MPEG-2 options work well (BD 1920 for example) plus, AMD has got to use some special profiles to accelerate AVCHD-MPEG4 (they're calling it "Video-Konservierung, hochauflösend" for example in the german version. Dunno why though they're not using normal AVCHD-profiles - bitrates of both seem identical. Maybe more than H.264-baseline-profile is required for this?

Here's the link: http://www.pcgameshardware.de/aid,6...obearbeitung-mit-Power-Director-7/Tools/Test/

IMO both options - Ati stream and Cuda - are not yet unleashing their potential.

 

CarstenS can you do me a favor and check the speed up of the avc hd smart rendering ?

 

I don't think that I've seen such an option. Where can I find it?

 

as a cyberlink user I'm looking forward to the results too! make the red bastard sweat a bit..

 

but the product page has a big CUDA logo on it, a seperate CUDA page (where they show the same speed increases as on the ATI page) for the MPEG2 encoding.. weird.
