I have read several posts in this forum regarding the inability of DVDFab to use NVIDIA CUDA Hardware Decoding of HEVC encoded video files on Windows 10.
They all conclude that NVIDIA CUDA HEVC Decoding is not functional under Windows, due to a problem of Nvidia driver, so DVDFab is not to be blamed.
I decided to investigate the subject and my findings point elsewhere.
I am using Windows 10 Pro 64-bit edition, Core i7 3770 CPU, 16 GB RAM and Geforce GTX 960 Graphics card.
I downloaded a very big HEVC file from the website below:
I used Daum Potplayer (64 bit edition) to play it and simultaneously watched CPU and GPU use during playback using Process Hacker software. Additionally PotPlayer introduces a choice under the window of the video during playback to select HW or SW acceleration, which I was pressing to select accordingly.
It was very easy for me to detect huge differences on the CPU/GPU use between using HW and SW playback of the file, which definitely proved that NVIDIA CUDA HEVC Decoding on Windows 10 is very well functional.
If you have any kind of doubts, please follow procedure above and see for yourselves.
So from my point of view, there must be something wrong with DVDFab not being able to detect and use CUDA HEVC Decoding under Windows 10.
