NVidia CUDA accelerated Freemake Video Converter

nvidia-quadro-fx5800The GPU on a video card is well known for its ability to crunch numbers, and if you have one there is no reason why you should keep him idle inside a dark cabinet, unless you are gaming all the time. A GPU’s raw processing power shouldn’t go to waste. He could lend a hand to the CPU when the CPU’s hands are full, and video conversion is one area where the CPU would never say no.

Freemake Video Converter is a free software that harnesses the power of NVidia’s new CUDA technology for video conversion. By using Freemake Video Converter for ones video conversion needs, NVidia CUDA card owners can utilize their majorly unused graphics card to get faster conversions.

The software’s USP is simplicity, although there is no selling here because it is a freeware. Everything is kept to the basics. A beginner with his first video conversion job will find no problem getting it done without help. A number of output presets especially tailored for YouTube video, DVD, Android devices etc are available for once click conversion. Those who are willing to dig down deep can edit every conversion setting to their liking.

Input files can range from video, audio, and photos. It can also import videos from a DVD, essentially turning the software into a simple DVD ripper. Additionally, videos can be converted to DVDs, but options to tweak DVD video settings are almost non-existent. The software will automatically adjust bitrates to fit the video into a DVD with the best possible quality. The only thing you can choose here is DVD type (single layer/double layer) PAL or NTSC and aspect ratio.

You can also create DVD slideshows from your pictures. Configuration options here are kept down to minimum. There are no transition effects whatsoever. You can add a background music though. If you are interested in a better DVD slideshow software, I suggest Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder and PhotoFilmStrip.

Besides video conversion, Freemake Video Converter can do other things like join videos, split and trim, rotate and flip horizontally or vertically. A live preview ensures that you get these right before you start converting.

However, there are times when you may want to change the cover photo frequently and periodically to match event dates or some special promotion that you are running or plan to run.

The task manager is ideal for real-time analysis of CPU and memory utilization. It even displays a short history of CPU utilization in the form of a graph. You get a small time-window, about 30 seconds or so, depending on how large the viewing area is.
