Avivo video converter in Basic Mode only?

G

Gonzo

It appears that my Avivo video converter only runs through the basic setting
of CCC.

So I can't run it from advanced CCC mode.

Is this correct?

Why oh why did ATi design it this way? Even better, why couldn't they have
made it a separate application?

Any yes, I know it's free. Just wish they would fix this.

It appears so, from what I can see. Pretty stupid on ATi's part. You'd think
most users knowledgeable enough to transcode videos would be able to handle
the "advanced" mode.

A better question: why does CCC use .NET to begin with?

When a company is run by buzzword-happy marketing ANALysts, anything could
happen.

Well maybe AMD will persuade ATi to fix this.

I also keep getting an error message "can't find cpuinf32.dll" every time I
try to play a converted file. Go figure.

I found and copied this dll file into the ATI directory and now it seems to
work fine.

If you want to get to use all the capabilities of the converter;
use GraphEdit, so that you have access to the property pages
of the "Filters".

To use GraphEdit add the following DirectShow "filters":

File Source (Async.) [I select my .mpg source with this filter]

A splitter for whatever type of source [I use MPEG_2_Splitter,
don't know where I got it from. But you probably have several,
including an avi splitter.]

ATI MPEG Audio and Video Decoders

[ I throw "MatrixMixer" and an Image Scaler in here]

ATI MPEG Audio and Video Encoders (right-click on the
filter box and check the "Filter Properties..." for settings)

ATI Multiplexer (Set "Filter Properties...".)

A File Writer or "Dump" filter.

Luck;
Ken

Thanks Ken.

I must say this is the fastest converter I have ever used. Just wish they
would make it an executable.

This might still be good:
