ATI Directshow Encoder Description

Ati Directshow Encoder is a program/frontend to encode video files with the help of AMD/ATI supplied directshow filters. In earlier ATI Catalysts there was an option for a very limited video encoding via AVIVO Video converter. Moreover the author of Ati Tray Tools made a utility called ATI XCoder that extended the basic functionality of AVIVO converter. Unfortunately in the latest 13.x drivers AMD doesn't provide a frontend for it's encoding engine, and with the new unified driver sets (Catalyst + Video codecs) AMD removed atixcode.dll that was a necessary file for ATI XCoder. So as far as I know there is no freeware solution at the moment to use the hardware accelerated encoding engine in new ATI drivers. The good news is GPU accelerated transcoding is working with the new drivers in Windows 7/8. With the help of this utility you can use this feature. The program works with older drivers too since it only requires the registered atimpenc.dll that is part of the avivo package for a long time. However (for me) GPU assisted encoding is working only with the newest drivers. The program uses the ATI filters only for the encoding process. For decoding the input file you should install the appropriate directshow filters (eg. ffdshow). If you can play a file with a directshow player, you can transcode it with this program.
