Finally, when converting DivX to the PSP format, we see once more that the Avivo Video Converter can accomplish the task in less than half the time of Nero Recode

AnandTech: Despite that warning from ATI, we had fewer problems with the Avivo Video Converter than we did with the beta H.264 decoder - it's actually in amazingly good shape for unsupported, pre-release software. The download is approximately 2.3MB zipped and you can get it here. Feel free to distribute it as you would like. Remember, it only works on ATI Radeon X1000 cards, but who knows - some of our more creative users may be able to find ways around that. The other item we didn't touch on that makes its appearance in the Catalyst 5.13 drivers is significantly improved video playback quality. ATI didn't have all of their Avivo ducks in a row when the X1000 series launched, but with Catalyst 5.13 they are looking to improve a number of the issues we noted in our first Avivo video quality article. We will be working on a follow-up to that piece in the near future to take a look at exactly what Catalyst 5.13 brings us in terms of video quality.

Hexus.net: The nailing of deinterlacing and image quality improvements to SD interlaced video are the most significant part of this Avivo update. Available on the 22nd of December 2005 as part of CATALYST 5.13, across all Radeon X1000-series graphics boards, those products are now best-in-class, by quite some margin, SD video processors. The availability of a H.264 ASP and AVC decoder for X1K boards via Cyberlink is also a significant step towards completing the promised Avivo feature set, and it'll be a free download from Cyberlink when it's finally released in the near future. With ATI railing on NVIDIA for their pay-for PureVideo DVD decoder for quite some time, that's more than welcome.
