AMD Responds To AVIVO Video Converter Feedback
Posted by Regeneration on December 22nd, 2008, 06:12 AM

AMD has released a short FAQ in response to recent feedback the company has received regarding the initial release of their GPU-accelerated ATI AVIVO Video Converter. Much of the feedback was related to the application's feature set, quality, compatibility, and performance.

Much of the appeal of the ATI AVIVO Video Converter is that it is free and extremely fast. But in comparison to a product like Elemental Technologies' Badaboom, which leverages the power of competing NVIDIA GPUs, the AVIVO Video Converter doesn't currently offer the same kind of compatibility or overall image quality, with as many file formats.

You can read the entire article at HotHardware.

Well it's free, fast, freshly released and full of potential. Of course it's not going to have as broad of a compatibility range as a commercial product so soon, duh.

Well you are right about that. It's exactly Nvidia's attitude.

I have to disagree with you. AMD has enough developers and beta testers to make it perfect within the first version. After all, it takes a lot of time, work and money to change people's first impression.

Look at CCC, Phenom and Windows Vista and see how important these "first impressions" are. The wise thing to do, is to use private beta testers and make it perfect before you release it to the public.

come on rege you know a well as I do that there has never, ever been anything coded perfect within the first version, its never happened and never will

and considering that their giving it away for free i doubt the dev team is very big, and honestly id perfer it if they kept their dev team on things that actually matter

Professionals with the hardware and the money would buy badaboom but a much larger percentage of users simply would not. Free GPU accelerated encoding will be seen as a selling point for ATI cards, given the fact that it will be improved over time, if home encoding was important to me I'd rather have an ATI card.

yes, but Vdub was and still is a GNU project
there are at least 2 mods for it (nandub and virtualdub-mod that I currently use)
AVIVO is not and I understand it uses AMD's proprietary codecs

I primarily use VirtualDub and several extras too. Avidemux is also feature rich, powerful and GPL. Some tasks I find easier with the latter. I generally don't do a whole lot of encoding unless it's the occasional large batch of fraps captured videos from games.
