Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac now adopts Apple ProRes codecs for Final Cut Pro post-production
A new version of Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac has been unveiled by Pavtube Studio, bringing in considerable solutions for editing high-resolution HD footages with Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express, iMovie, etc. The new released Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac v 1.9.1.1947 adopts Apple friendly codec packs including Apple ProRes family, DVCPRO HD codecs, HDV codecs for Final Cut Pro users, Apple Intermediate Codec, DV codecs for regular users, and Avid DNxHD codec for Avid Media Composer users.
As many video camcorders encode HD footage in H.264 and VC-1 standard and store video contents as AVCHD formats to carry great amount of details in highly-compressed method, film makers find it hard to edit the MTS, M2TS, MOV, MOD videos in editing software. By converting the HD footages into intermediate codecs before importing the video clips to editing software, movie makers can preserve the maximum possible detail and edit full HD contents without a hitch. The Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac v 1.9.1.1947 has added these excellent intermediate codec packs into format template for transcoding complex camera codecs like AVCHD and MOV, MOD, TOD videos. These templates benefit users of Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express, iMovie, Final Cut Studio, Avid Media Composer, as well as most other Mac video editing applications, enabling full HD resolution while editing, and accurate representation of motion effects from the creative stages through finishing.

The fastest way for ripping/streaming Blu-ray movie to Xbox 360
The Xbox 360 is not only a game console, but also a media player that allows you watching movies on your HDTV. Being different from Sony’s PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 can not be used as a Blu-ray player, and you have to convert the Blu-ray m2ts streams to Xbox 360 supported format first. WMV HD might be the optimal format for streaming Blu-ray to Xbox 360, but it’s not the only one. The Xbox 360 also supports H.264 and MPEG-4 encoded MP4, MOV, M4V files and DivX AVI video clips. Let me tell you something: if your PC is equipped with an NVIDIA CUDA ready graphics card, then H.264 MP4 is a better export format than WMV, because this format allows you to take advantage of NVIDIA’s GPU acceleration, improving the ripping speed to 3-4 times faster. The following guide focus on how to stream Blu-ray to Xbox 360 with CUDA implementation.
Make sure you have these tools:
PC running Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 with a NVIDIA CUDA ready graphics card; an BD drive for reading Blu-ray contents from BD; and Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper software (click to download a trial)
Detailed guide: How to stream Blu-ray movies to Xbox 360 at fastest speed?
Step 1: Run Pavtube Blu-ray to Xbox 360 Converter
load BD files to it,You can click “BD/DVD ROM” or “BD/DVD Folder” to load Blu-ray movie files into the app. When movie is loaded, check if the CUDA button is activated.
Step 2: Select H.264 HD output format for Xbox 360
Click on the drop-down list at the opposite side of “Format”, and then choose “HD Video” > “H.264 HD Video (*.mp4)”. The format generates 1080p HD MP4 video with AAC 5.1 audio for Xbox 360 playback.
Step 3: Start ripping Blu-ray to Xbox 360 supported H.264 HD MP4 at 1080p
Click “Convert” button to rip Blu-ray to Xbox 360, once the ripping task is finished by Pavtube Blu-ray to Xbox 360 Converter, you can click “Open” button at the bottom of the main interface to get the output MP4 files for Xbox 360, and to stream Blu-ray movies to Xbox 360.
Tips:See how much CUDA has fastened Blu-ray ripping speed on my slow desktop
1.Ripping Blu-ray Alice In Wonderland with CUDA ON:
Ripping time- 3 hours and 8 minutes
Generated file size- 7.07GB
2.Ripping Blu-ray Alice In Wonderland with CUDA OFF:
Ripping time- 12 hours and 5 minutes
Generated file size- 7.05GB
By implying CUDA acceleration the Blu-ray ripping speed is 3.87 times faster than that CUDA is disabled. The acceleration rate may be different based on the computer you use for BD to Xbox 360 conversion. You can try the Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper software and compare by yourself. Learn more information about CUDA acceleration as you like
Ever thought of putting your DVD collections to Apple TV? Why not? With digital backups on Apple TV, you will never have to hunt for a movie in hundreds of DVDs and then bother to place it in a DVD player. Instead, you just sit on the bed and select desired movie with a handy remote control. Be sick with the long time ripping process? Oh, in that case you should not miss the Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper v3.7, which allows you to take advantage of NVIDIA’s GPU acceleration, improving the ripping speed to 3-5 times faster.
The secret of ripping Blu-ray to Apple TV 3-4 times faster
By processing video conversions on NVIDIA's GPU instead of your computer's CPU, ripping time is greatly shorted and more CPU resources can be spared for other applications, making your computer run much smoother. CUDA based Pavtube Blu-ray Disc Ripper software helps you rip Blu-ray much faster than ever in the availability of NVIDIA’s CUDA enabled Graphics card. I have tested the CUDA enabled Blu-ray ripping process on a 1GHz Dual Corel PC with Apple TV 1280*720 MP4 video (encoded with H.264/AAC) and it takes 90min only comparing with when CUDA is disabled. Here’s what I do with the Avatar Blu-ray Disc.
Step-by-step guide of ripping Blu-ray to Apple TV with AAC 5.1 audio:
Download a free trial of Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper first. The Blu-ray Ripper and DVDs converts commercial Blu-ray Discs and DVDs to various video and audio formats for Apple TV, iPad, iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4, PS3, Wii, Android smartphones, etc.
Step 1. Load BD movie to the Pavtube Blu-Ray Ripper software
Connect an external BD drive to your PC if there is not an internal one. Place in source Blu-ray disc. Install and launch the Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper software, click “BD/DVD ROM” or “BD/DVD Folder” to load Blu-ray movie files into the app. When movie is loaded, make sure the CUDA button is activated.
Step 2. Set H.264 HD MP4 for Apple TV.
Click on “Format” bar to determine the output format. To take advantage of CUDA acceleration and k eep the best quality for Apple TV playback, I select “Apple TV H.264 1280*720 (*.mp4)”. The format creates HD MP4 with AAC 5.1 surround sound.
Step 3. Start ripping Blu-Ray to Apple TV with AAC 5.1 sound at fastest speed.
Click on “Convert”button to start Blu-Ray to Apple TV conversion. The whole process takes 96min and the generated file size is 4.73GB.
Once the ripping task is finished I click “Open” button at the bottom of the main interface to get the output MP4 files for Apple TV. The image quality turned out to be excellent:
I then click the CUDA button to turn the CUDA off, and convert Avatar Blu-ray to Apple TV H.264 1280*720 (*.mp4) format again. This time it takes 455 min to generate a 4.66GB file.
So my advice for guys that wanna backup Blu-ray movies to Apple TV is, have a try with Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper v3.7 and experience the CUDA acceleration by yourself. You’ll love it. For more info about the CUDA acceleration you can check CPU acceleration and CUDA based Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper v3.7.
