ATI XCoder GUI (beta)

Hello again,

today I've run some more test (with 8.9 drivers).

And the results are the same - old ATI Avivo Video converter is almost twice faster (6min MPEG2 was converted in 3,5min vs. XCode 6min.).

The most interesting thing is while encoding in Avivo Converter my CPU usage is 80-99%, in XCode it’s always rock solid 99%.

I still need to use ATIDVCR.DLL form 7.6 driver pack (the new ones results in an error).

Ahhlon XP-M @ 2,5GHz, 2600XT AGP.

 

If old ATI Avivo Video converter use direct access to the coders - it will be faster than CCC and my utils. Because last ones doesn't have direct access.

 

The ATI converter looked slightly more blurry in those pictures, and even then, only in the dirt bike one. Can't tell a difference in the car.

 

Is version 0.7b the latest version of this converter?
Are there any other GUIs for ATIs xcode?

--> I really don't like the basic ccc-wizard. ;-)

Thanks

Avivo existed prior to GPGPU. Avivo Video Encoder is an add-on package that was left out of the Official 8.12 cats....even though it was included in the RC3 package. If you have an ATI graphics card, and ATI TV tuner....Avivo works flawlessly. Everyone needs to stop associating Avivo with Avivo Video Encoder. They are NOT the same thing. Avivo was intended to improve picture quality....Avivo Video Encoder, was intended to do video conversions. Unless you downloaded and installed the Avivo Video Encoder...you're still CPU bound for transcoding/converting.

 

Hello there,

I am trying to use atixcode.exe on cmd-line version, but when I run it, Windows reports an error message and closes the DOS-prompt window

Does anyone has a atixcode.exe with working .dll to share with me???

Thanks,
Mutaza

 

Ahh... Strammermax never came back to release it!

Ray, do you still plan to release a version with batch conversion support?

How did he modify your program? Did you give him the source code? Or he decompiled it?

Also, is the Target Bitrate of 8 the maximum allowed, or could it go higher? I have some source videos with 12.

Thanks for your handy application!

 

Hi Ray,

Just wanted to let you know ATI has updated its converter with recent 9.5 catalyst release.

It now has h264 hd profiles (720p and 1080p), which were announced with 8.12 but were still not there with 9.4. And your GUI does not show those profiles. Maybe a good occasion for an update of your gui ? (just a suggestion)

Also, Ati announced some optimization. I don't know if it is related or not, but I get an error when I try to select h264 ipod profile in your gui, which make it crash:
