How to Rip 4K Blu-ray to H.265 MKV Utilizing CUDA on Windows?

If you’re much concerned about the picture quality and video size when ripping your 4K Blu-ray, I would strongly recommend you to rip 4K Blu-ray to HEVC MKV files. Comparing with other video codec, HEVC provides the best quality at the smallest file size. Moving away from H.264 to HEVC or an equivalent is especially important for 4K streaming, as the bandwidth requirements can be reduced significantly by simply encoding the media in a more compressed format. HEVC is perfect for this: it provides the same quality as H.264 streams at half the bitrate.

By copying 4K Blu-ray to HEVC 4K MKV files, you can play 4K HEVC video with HEVC player on your Mac and Windows without needing to invest an expensive 4K Blu-ray Player. You also can streamt he 4K Blur-ay rips on 4K TV via Roku 4 which supports to handle HEVC video files. HEVC encoding is CPU heavy and a standard 4K Blu-ray usually has two hours videos. So concerning about efficiency, I would strongly recommend using Nvidia’s HEVC encoder to enhance the 4K Blu-ray to HEVC ripping speed.

Best HEVC NVIDIA Encoder To Rip 4K Blu-ray

Pavtube ByteCopy has joined H.265 NVIDIA to 30X Realtime 4K H.265 Encoding with supporting the newest NVIDIA CUDA technology in video encoding to improve performance and ensure users much faster conversion speed than ever before when ripping and converting DVD/Blu-ray, since more CPU resources are spared because of NVIDIA CUDA's harnessing the power of GPU. Technically speaking, Pavtube ByteCopy HEVC CUDA takes advantage of NVIDIA’s latest high end graphics card iterations which are capable of h.265 encoding, aka HEVC encoding, and also the CUDA hardware acceleration technology. Our test results show that it can speed the conversion up exponentially, approximately 30 times faster than software encoding.

Pavtube ByteCopy is the a top-ranked Blu-ray Ripper which can bypass Blu-ray BD+, AACS, MKB V61, MKB V62, etc and decode 4K Blu-ray HEVC and VP9 to HEVC MKV files keeping the original video quality and lossless audio. Besides HEVC MKV, Pavtube ByteCopy also can rip 4K Blu-ray to HEVC MP4, H.264 MP4, H.264 MKV, DivX, XviD, AVI, WMV, FLV, etc. It can directly copy 4K Blu-ray to lossless/uncompressed MKV and multi-track MP4/MOV with multiple subtitle and audio tracks. In the ripping speed, it can preserve your 4K Blu-ray DTS 5.1/7.1 audio and TrueHD/DTS-MA audio.

Hardware and System Requirements: Before you can benefit from the HEVC CUDA, you need to make sure your computer is geared up with one of the three NVIDIA’s HEVC encoding capable graphics card, which are the GeForce GTX 960, GeForce GTX 970 and GeForce GTX 980. This is the only must-have thing it requires, no other special demands.

How to Rip 4K Blu-ray to H.265 MKV Utilizing CUDA on Windows?
