You'll go bananas with waiting hours for CPU to convert videos from one format to another, especially videos in 4K Ultra HD. Congratulations if you are using AMD GPU that has a built-in video converter named ATI Avivo Video Converter. The embedded video converter supports GPU acceleration, which makes full potential of GPU and speeds up video performance on AMD based computer. Here's a complete guide for you to learn how to get started.
Many of us are annoyed with the issue of AMD GPU accelerated video converter or "Start Video Converter" option not showing up after the driver update. Things become a bit more complicated then. You need to download codec package to solve the issue. Following steps below:

1. Go to AMD official site to download AMD Media Codec Package (for Windows 8/Windows 10) or ATI Avivo Codec Package 10.12 or Windows 7 or earlier. The codec package contains AMD video transcoder and codecs for GPU accelerated video transcoding and the package is no longer offered by AMD.
2. Click Select Source and select a video to process. Then click Browse to change the default output folder, and click Next. Batch processing is not supported by the video converter freeware powered by AMD.
The AMD built-in video converter is not a professional tool for video transcoding. Supported format is very limited, many users are crying that input files are not recognized, MKV doesn't work, HEVC get stuttered, etc. You may need a better and faster GPU accelerated video converter that provides AMD acceleration. Continue to read if you are looking for such replacement.
The alternative to AMD built-in free video converter we recommend here is MacX Video Converter Pro, which is mainstream GPU accelerated video processing software. Integrated with AMD technologies, the alternative can batch process videos, including 4K UHD/8K videos stably and efficiently, with at least 5X faster speed than AMD free video converter with less CPU usage and make full use of GPU. Requiring no extra codec package, it supports 370+ video audio codecs, covering modern HEVC/VP9 codec, and commonly used H.264, MPEG-4, and more. Users are allowed to transcode HEVC to H.264, MKV to MP4, WMV to MOV, MP4 to MP3, to name a few.
We noted in our previous test that there were many videos we wanted to transcode that were not accepted as input by the AVIVO video converter. There was still one test file we had that could not be transcoded, but all the rest were accepted as input. We did have some difficulty in getting some files to properly convert, especially when upsampling to 1080p and encoding to H.264. Our MacGyver clip, for instance, would go through the process, but the output file simply would not play on any player with any codec we tried. They all gave us an error.
While the AVIVO video converter accepted the file and attempted to transcode it to 1080p H.264. Depending on the codec we used to try and view the file we saw different very distorted output. With one codec output ended up squeezed horizontally. It almost looked as if the output was a sideways 16:9 video (and the math came out close but not quite). Another codec had the right size, but both looked as though they might have de-interlacing artifacts despite the fact that the source was progressive.
AVIVO Video Converter also exhibited some issues with transcoding without installing multiple 3rd party codecs. Despite the fact that our system could play all the videos we wanted to test just fine, in order to get the converter to accept them we needed more software (but at least it did work after doing this). Even the more useful MediaShow Espresso software by Cyberlink couldn't provide us with quality output while using AMD hardware to accelerate transcoding.
ATI has also released a transcoder software dubbed "ATI Avivo Video Converter", which supports transcoding between H.264, VC-1, WMV9, WMV9 PMC, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX video formats, as well as formats used in iPod and PSP. Earlier versions of this software uses only the CPU for transcoding, but have been locked for exclusive use with the ATI X1000 series of GPUs. Software modifications have made it possible to use version 1.12 of converter on a wider range of graphics adapters.[3] The ATI Avivo Video Converter for Windows Vista was available with the release of Catalyst 7.9 (September 2007 release, version 8.411).
The ATI Avivo Video Converter with GPU transcoding acceleration is now also available for use with HD 4800 and HD 4600 series graphics cards and is included with the Catalyst 8.12 drivers. Support for Vista x64 is available via a separate download starting with Catalyst 9.6 (9-6_vista32-64_xcode). The new software is faster than Badaboom, an encoder that uses NVIDIA's CUDA to accelerate encoding, but has a higher CPU utilization than Badaboom. One review reported visual problems with iPod and WMV playback using Catalyst version 8.12, and although concluding there was no clear winners, if forced to choose would go with the Avivo converter.[4]
AMD is also heavily pushing GPU computing these days, pointing out that the 4xxx GPU's do an excellent job of decoding HD, playing games, and can even be used as highly parallel compute engines - as proof, AMD offers a free download, the ATI Avivo Video converter, that uses the stream processing capabilites of the 4xxx GPU's to convert video's far faster than even a quad core processor can convert them.
AMD heeft vandaag met versienummer 8.12 de twaalfde en laatste Catalyst-release van dit jaar voor de ATI Radeon-videokaarten uitgebracht. De drivers zijn beschikbaar voor Windows XP en Vista, in zowel de 32bits-, de 64bits- en de Media Center-uitvoering van Windows. De nieuwe drivers zijn geschikt voor alle Radeon-modellen vanaf de 9500-serie en de All-in-Wonder-kaarten vanaf de 9600-serie.
