Leif Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I'm looking for a program that will convert "file types" to DVD with GPU acceleration. I'm not even sure such a program exists. I already have programs that do the reverse, in other words DVD to whatever file type. Let me know your thoughts, ty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Shadrack Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Well, in the past I've used ConvertXtoDVD which worked really well for me. But it is pay-for. This was a few years ago and they didn't support GPU acceleration back then. It still worked very well though. I really liked how easy it was to make simple and nice looking menus for the DVDs (although not very customizable). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Gary2MBz Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Badaboom converts to other devices using CUDA but unfortunately it doesn't do DVDs. I think this is the ONLY program to fully utilize CUDA. CUDA programs are nonexistent pretty much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Leif Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 Thanks! I already use convertxtodvd. I know of badaboom and have used it. I'm just interested in making sure I'm converting things as quickly as possible and obviously not all programs take advantage of all hardware features. Its not like its slow as it is, just always looking for more zoom zoom :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Richard Hammond Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 If you have a quad core you arent going to get much faster when encoding to mpeg2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 REM2000 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 It's a shame it's Mac only, i use this to compress video, it takes a load off the process and does a really good job of recompressing video. http://www.elgato.com/elgato/int/mainmenu/products/Accessories/Turbo264HD/product1.en.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Richard Hammond Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 That doesnt do MPEG2 though, that does Format X to H264. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 RadishTM Veteran Posted May 11, 2010 Veteran Share Posted May 11, 2010 TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress, the CUDA support is nice but only helps slightly with encoding and more with processing video with the in-built filters (which I do on occasion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Billus Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 DVDFab supports both CUDA and ATI Stream. Edit: I use ConverXtoDVD if I need to. Does the job so damn quickly it's not funny and the end results are really good. Usually downsize HD to DVD for my folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Richard Hammond Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Because it does DVD to Mobile, there are no GPU accelerated MPEG2 encoders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 LeChuck Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I use Dvdtivi lite to Convert AVI to DVD. I Do not know if GPU are used through CUDA but encoding speed seems correct with this freeware. http://www.hitivi.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 liju Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 There are no CUDA MPEG2 encoders. The closest you'll get are applications that may use it for decoding your source video and help with filters you use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 liju Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Badaboom converts to other devices using CUDA but unfortunately it doesn't do DVDs. I think this is the ONLY program to fully utilize CUDA. CUDA programs are nonexistent pretty much. No, Badaboom is not the only CUDA encoder. TMPG Video Mastering Works 5 and some Cyberlink products include a CUDA and an Intel Quick Sync h264 encoder. On the free side MediaCoder has a h264CUDA encoder. I'm sure some of the other big players in the video related applications space also have a CUDA encoder in some of their products. Then there are a lot of applications which doesn't include a CUDA encoder but use it to decode your source video and for filtering. All CUDA video encoders available are h264 encoders. There is also an opensource flac encoder and a mp3 encoder powered by CUDA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 remixedcat Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 mediacoder uses CUDA but another good encoder is Handbrake. nothing else is good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
