Vista - avivo video converter

anyone else try installing the avivo video converter? amd finally released the x64 version. i downloaded it along with catalyst 9.2 and hydravision. i installed everything but cannot access the AVC. i know that i am supposed to start CCC in basic mode to access the AVC, but i cannot on this system. (I have 32bit winxp pro on another computer with an hd 3870 with the AVC installed also, so i know how i'm supposed to start it)

the specs on the machine i can't run AVC on are listed below. anyone else have any success on a x64 system with avivo video converter?

Though I have a 4850, I've not used this program nor am I familiar with it other than ATI released it. However you might want check out thread here - New ATi Avivo Transcoder - Rage3D Discussion Area

Good luck

thanks, but no help for me there as there was no specific reference to x64 based systems. oh well, no big loss. i got it on my winxp pro computer and it works with my hd 3870. i can live with that.

Perhaps you should post your question there??? That's why I gave you the link.

It's not the 64 bit version on the amd site, it's the 32 bit version that is in the vista 64 bit drivers section for some reason. I could not get it to work either. If you look on the drivers disc that come with your card & explore it theres a 64 bit version & a 32 bit on there, so in the end i just installed the one off the disc which works fine. If you check out this link to this ati site & navigate to optional downloads 64 bit it reads by the download link that Avivo Package will be available soon for vista 64.

I don't use the program, never even knew it was on the disk...but...I was under the impression this software was only released in Dec of 08? If that's true, It wouldn't be on my disk since I bought the card in Jul 08.

Also are you saying no one in that thread has Vista x64? I surely thought some did. Hmmm.

At any rate like I said before, I don't use the program so...

Glad you got it working.

i checked it out. thanks. that is strange that the download is shown as available in one place for x64 drivers and in another section (the link you provided), it is shown as available soon. that kinda crazy.

you say it is on the disc? how old is your card? i have an hd 4870 that i bought in september '08. to my knowledge, amd/ati didn't even acknowledge the existence of the avivo video converter until, i think, jan '09. i'll check my driver disc just to make sure.

My cards maybe almost a year old I think now? it's a sapphire 2600 pro and it's agp version which has it's problems at times. The driver vesion on the disc is 7.10 but the avivio codecs don't install if you follow the normal setup i had to explore the disc to find them? 64bit ones where there? It's fast to decode files but it never uses the gpu my cpu is mostly maxed out. Format support is also poor. I did read that it does not support gpu assisted on vista 64. Some people seem to have got the 32 bit version running on vista64 with mixed results tho. It's a shame ati are so incompetent when it comes to driver support.

are you referring to the avivo codecs or the avivo video decoder?

The video converter. Heres a link you can download the file off mediafire hosting i poped it on there. This is the file i installed off the disc & in basic view in ccc i get the video converter option now.
