Trying convert an avi file to ipad with 2 passes using ATI Stream failed.
Logs of falure follows:

Turn off the ATI stream crap and set the encoding/decoding to all software and give it a try.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'd like the GPU method to work - perhaps eventually, so I just relate my experience for the benefit of the developers. The CPU software method works fine, albeit at a much slower pace.

[GregiBoy]

The GPU method is totally dependent upon drivers/software from the manufacturer and the details which they supply software developers. In a lot of cases these are just plain wrong.

This is the reason that it can never be guaranteed to work properly.

Hi MFM
Please do as suggested and switch options to software. Taken from Fengtao's post: New: Added support for ATI Stream acceleration technology.
Note: Please update AMD Radeon video card drivers first.
1. Visit http://sites.amd.com/US/GAME/DOWNLOA...downloads.aspx
2. Download both "Catalyst Software Suite" and "AMD Media Codec Package" (Optional Downloads).
Currently the ATI Stream support is limited to video decoding only. It's the problem of AMD driver, and we need to wait for driver updates to support H.264 video encoding. Also the decoding speed of ATI Stream is not very faster than DXVA, but it should be more stable than DXVA.

Maybe in the near future ATI will have better support but as of right now I doubt that it is faster than Software.
