Thanks for this info! The ATI website proudly states that they endeavor
to update the Catalyst Drivers at least once per month. I'm 2 months
behind now...

Better go take a look before another update slips by me.

At the risk of showing my ignorance what advantages or improvements do the updates give us?
And what is the Avivo encoder?

It's like learning a whole new language. It's a good job there are people out there who are prepared to provide the answers.

Avivo is the graphics card helper software that allows PowerDirector to perform hardware-based encoding.

It is similar to the CUDA software that is used for Nvidia cards. Win8 64-bit Pro Retail
