What is CUDA?

back up blu-ray with cudaCUDA™ is a revolutionary parallel computing architecture from NVIDIA that enables dramatic increases in computing performance by harnessing the power of the GPU (graphics processing unit). With millions of CUDA-enabled GPUs sold to date, software developers, scientists and researchers are finding broad-ranging uses for CUDA, including image and video processing, computational biology and chemistry, ray tracing, and much more.

The advantages of  CUDA based Blu-ray Disc Ripper software

Pavtube Blu-ray Disc Ripper v3.7, which is accelerated by CUDA, takes 90min only to rip Blu-ray Avatar to 1080p H.264 MP4 file (output size- 10GB), comparing with 270min when ripping with its previous version Pavtube Blu-ray Disc Ripper v3.6.

What you need for playing a Blu-ray Disc on PC
Commercial Blu-ray Discs are copy-protected and will not let you access the Blu-ray contents (mainly m2ts streams) other than playing with a BD player. In order to use the BD movie freely, get yourself a BD drive and Blu-ray decrypting software first. A BD drive is a Blu-ray disk drive, which reads Blu-ray Discs (unprotected) and DVDs. DVD-ROM will not read Blu-ray Disc as BD-ROM does. Blu-ray Ripper software helps you backup Blu-ray contents from a protected BD. As for playing Blu-ray m2ts streams, VLC Media Player is one of the top choices.
