Can’t talk for long. Heatwave here in Melbourne, power might go out, or my computer might explode in the 42 C temperature (107 F).

Just wanted to say that a new ATI Catalyst driver version is now available, the new ATI Video Converter version (also 9.1) is available here. Except the link might be broken for ATI Video Converter, so here are the direct links:

XP (32 or 64-bit) Version

Vista (32-bit) Version

I’ve had a brief play with it, and GPU-Z tells me that the acceleration has improved, and instead of intermittent usage of the GPU, it’s now fairly constant (around 20%). I might have to wait until this evening, or when the heatwave is over, before I can test it in more detail.

Update: Upon further testing, there does not seem to be any improvements. In fact, things seemed worse on some occasions. By all means update to the latest version, but ATI Video Converter is still not using the GPU as much as it should be.
