Hi,My dad and I are discovering this really great software to rip all of our BD/DVD collection but we encountered some problems.The setup here is on Win 10 64 bits.My dad owned an AMD R9 270X 4Go with last AMD driver installed.He installed last version of DVD fab (we bought the all bundle) and started to use it in Software mode (meaning 2-3h per DVD and 7 to 10h per BD) in x265Those DVD or BD were readen with optical drivesThen we discovered that Geforce Series 9xx and 10xx can hardware handle x265 and could decrease ripping time to around 10 to 20 minutes.He bought a Palit GTX 1060 3GB.Uninstalled all AMD software.Installed last nVidia Driver at that time which was 21.21.13.7651 : 6.1 (only driver no CUDA toolkit yet). (+ Palit tool to Overclock)He tried to define in Common Settings for every codec to use CUDA with Lightining-shark ticked.He retried and the same poor performance were there (something like 7-10 fps)Then we discovered that maybe we could install CUDA.We installed CUDA toolkit 8.0 + minor update (8.2 ?) --- Note : this is not usefull for DVD Fab, don't install itRetried in x264 this time, performance were around 200 fps for a DVD (all structured present on a HDD this time) and round 60 fps for BD (from optical drive)Retried in x265 and here its absolute poor performance, something like 30 fps maximum for both DVD or BD.-----------------We tried to ripp the exact same DVD with StaxRip (which is supposed to use NVENC/NVDEC like DVD fab is doing right ?) and in x265 we get 500fps.We concluded that we actually got NVENC/NVDEC on the computer and StaxRip is finding and use them while dvdFab seems to stay in Software mode (not finding the libs?)----------------Does anyone have an idea how to "activate" CUDA for DVDFab ?Regards,Christopher

The screen gives more details about the Graphics Card

Welcome to the worldwide DVDFab family. You may have a conflict with the nvidia driver or some other issue. All GPU settings are controlled by the setting on the AV Codec page, if you are able to select it there it should work with better performance than you are currently seeing. The DVDFab internal log has more information on the relationship between Fab and any installed GPUs, so please take the following steps: In Windows Explorer, please go to \Documents\DVDFab 10\Logs and delete the file dvdfab_internal.log. Then, restart DVDFab, select the Ripper module and load an optical disc in a drive and let it analyze. Select one of the conversion profiles you are trying to use, then press Start and let it run a few minutes. You can then cancel it and follow the steps linked in my sig below to attach the log session you just generated to a post.

also see this thread here - https://forum.dvdfab.cn/forum/dvdfab-english/general-questions/26335-dvdfab-cuda-support-status

Here is the logs and screen shot corresponding to the test you asked signals.My dad also adds :Optical drive is on external USB 2.0 wireAt 2% of the job he had only 6.42 FPS speed

You can try copying the nvcuvenc.dll to the system32 and syswow64 folder. Thats what activated CUDA for me for Pavtube Bluray Ripper

Will try this (and check if it was already there)Can you tell me if it's the lib use for "old" graphics cards (I read something that a lib was the elder of NVENC and has been decomissioned by Nvidia since 340.xx dirvers) ?

CHances are its not there.I can't tell you if the lib was used with old GPU's but what I can tell you is that it activated CUDA with my NVIDIA GTX770. Pavtube Bluray ripper recognised this and H264 conversions fly on the go

We added the .dll files in both System32 and SysWOW64 but we still got the same result.

After some investigation we found that StaxRip include a NVENC.exe application.But we didn't find it in DVDFab10 folder, does it mean it's missing or it is supposed to be built in DVDFab (in some .dll maybe ?) or DVDFab is suppposed to find CUDA through some Environment variables ? (which in case may not be set ?)Does anyone know the exact name of CUDA lib used by DVDFab 10 ?I'm a software engineer so anyone, especially guys from DVDFab, have technical demands/tests please do shoot me ! :)

DVD/BD Ripping don't use CUDA

@signals

When I read the fabcheck_internal.log it seems to me that dvdfab detect the Graphics card then for some rease it says Cuda is not usable (cudaStatus=0) then it gets CPU info and uses CPU,
Am I right ?

Moreover it seems to be saying that its CPU i7-3820 is QuickSync capable meanwhile tech spec from Intel says it doesn't have any iGPU.
So is it still Quick Sync capable ?

@3dman7
Really big thanks for all this information it's helping us a lot !
Can you please tell us the brand of your GTX 1060 ?

It's a Zotac and comparing your dads and my fab check files mine says the same for card detect info.cuda and lighting shrink checked marked work fine note we have different processors mine is 3773 and has quick sync and your OS is different for the fab check mine is on top yours on bottom taken from the fab check logs for your dads and mine gtx1060 cards.

Also if your dad has quick sync in the post with the screen shots you posted you will see what your dad can use on the codex page of fab the box on the bottom it tells you what you can use with fab it has a scroll bar that you have pulled down in the screen shot you posted pull it up to see if quick sync is listed in that bottom box with the scroll bar up all the way if it has quick sync it will tell you to plug your monitor into the computers motherboard to get it to work with quick sync.(see screen shot)

For cuda your monitor should be hooked up to the cuda card as it seems dads speeds are not correct make sure this is correct.Tell your dad to change out the hdmi wire to see if the cable ends are damaged and if possible to use 3.0 hdmi if he can for the drive.The wire with the special ends can be brought on line they often get pulled on and damaged.You can also try plugging into a different 2.0 plug on the computer they also get damaged easy.If using a hdmi extender try plugging the drive directly into the computer.

Is GTX 1060 3GO a brand? I am talking about the 3GO?

3dman7

I think it is google it seems they have a 3go and a 6go.

Hello Bigcid10,

Your message seems very interesting.
Can you write down here which version of nvidia Drivers and DVD Fab you had when it worked ?
Maybe it's a update of nvidia Driver or Dvd Fab responsible for our problems.

Can you tell me also which OS are you using ?
Windows 7 or 10 ? 32 or 64 bits ?

I think 3dman has a GTX 1060 3GB also and is able to encode in x265 with CUDA, if you come by can you please give us your setup ? (OS/nVidia Driver version / DVD fab version)

The same question for anyone succeeding to encode in x265 with CUDA in DVD Fab !

Thank you for the response
right now I'm in the middle of a platform swap(x99-->X299)
but I was and going to still be using a MSI gtx1070 gaming 8g
was using 385.28 drivers
and dvdfab 10.0.51 on windows 10 ent x64
Thank you

Johnathon

In your log file from page 1, it says you're using H265 10bit. DVDFab only supports CUDA acceleration on H265 8bit at the moment, with support for 10bit coming in the next few weeks (Per Wilson.Wang in my thread here) - For now, to get the faster speeds, use the MKV.H265 or MP4.H265 and not the MKV.H265.10bit or MP4.H265.10bit profiles.

Does anyone have an idea how to "activate" CUDA for DVDFab ?

Can you screen grab the A/V Codec page? Goto Common Settings > A/V Codec. On that same page is a link to 'Hardware Info'...as detected by the DVDFab product.
