Through integration of Adobe Mercury Playback Engine, Premiere Pro takes advantage of NVIDIA CUDA-enabled GPUs boasting faster workflow for real-time video editing and output rendering, especially 4K footage. Plus, OpenCL GPU acceleration with AMD and Intel graphics is another choice for a faster performance on video encoding/decoding, rendering. A personal experience turns out CUDA works better with Premiere Pro (20% faster than OpenCL) while OpenCL offers accelerated solution for only AMD or Intel GPUs.


2. Vegas Pro
Best Hardware Accelerated Video Editor - Vegas Pro • User rating: ★★★★☆ 4.5/5.0
• Support platforms: Windows 10 and lower
• Hardware Acceleration Support: Intel QSV[4], NIVDIA NVENC[5], OpenCL-enabled AMD/ATI

Sony announces Vegas Pro as an innovative nonlinear video editor with a customized interface full of flexibility. Smart editing tools lead an efficient workflow to create, render and output movie-like productions more quickly. The support of popular formats - like HEVC, AVC, XAVC in 4K/2K/HD - drive Vegas Pro to edit raw footage without rewrapping or transcoding. Disc authoring is simplified in the workplace offered by Vegas Pro.

GPU acceleration in Vegas Pro is a weakness in early days. The latest 15.0 gives an improvement utilizing Intel QSV and NVIDIA NVENC for the new MAGIX AVC/AAC codec to further accelerate rendering and encoding. When the encode mode turns to be NVENC or QSV, the rendering time will be as much as half or even more of using Mainconcept AVC encoder (CPU).


Best Hardware Accelerated Video Editor - CyberLink PowerDirector

3. CyberLink PowerDirector

Top Hardware Accelerated DVD Rippers for Windows

1. Handbrake
• User rating: ★★★★☆ 4.5/5.0
• Support platforms: Windows 7 to Windows 10
Hardware Accelerated DVD Ripper Software - Handbrake • Hardware Acceleration Support:
Intel Quick Sync Video NVIDIA

Handbrake is a free and open-source DVD/video converter program, focusing on ripping DVD disc/converting video to MP4 or MKV digital file. The input can be DVD disc or video file. Supported output video codecs include H.264, H.265 (HEVC), MPEG-4 and MPEG-2. Its interface, operation, settings are a little bit complex, so it may be more suitable for experienced users. Need to mention that Handbrake itself can't rip protected DVD, Disney DVD or 99-title DVD. You need to use a third-party DVD decrypter to disable the DVD copy protection first. Sometimes the output video is distorted, especially when you choose H.264 (Intel QSV) or H.265 (Intel QSV) as output.

Handbrake only supports Intel Quick Sync Video hardware acceleration tech to improve video processing speed. It doesn't support NVIDIA NVENC/CUDA GPU hardware acceleration. Based on the test, it is about 4x faster video encoding when using the Intel QSV based H.264 codec than the CPU-only H264 codec. However, Handbrake outputs worse video quality with a much larger size when using Intel Quick Sync to encode H.265/H.264 than using x264/x265 encoder only.

Verdict: The final data tells that WinX DVD Ripper Platinum takes the lead in hardware accelerated video processing, with a mark of smoothly ripping a full DVD movie to MP4 in 9.33 minutes using Intel QSV and 8.33 minutes using Nvidia NVENC (the fastest speed in all products testing), while all others use more time than it. Besides, WinX DVD Ripper Platinum outputs smallest video file size while keep original quality. DVDFab also rips DVD fast. Backing to software encoding really slows it down. Choose common video output format instead of HD when using Aimersoft DVD Ripper, or you will see a horrifying bit rate list starting from 10000 kbps, which may take you a century to finish the DVD ripping and you will get a really big-size file with no clearly enhanced view quality.
