Currently, the amount of amateur 4K video being created and made public on the web is growing at a very rapid pace. This is because the number of devices that let anybody with a minor budget film at least a moderately decent ultra HD video are proliferating left and right in all sorts of varieties. More and more 4k recording devices give people the chance to create their own 4K videos.

Although 4K is getting more and more popular, there are still many devices, media players, video sharing sites that can’t support 4K video. So when you want to edit, upload and play 4K video, you maybe need to convert or compress 4K videos. But 4K video conversion is really time-consuming, especially HEVC 4K videos. To get smaller size, when people encode 4K video, they usually choose H.265 codec and H.265 encoding is CPU-heavy and GPU-heavy. If you want to improve 4K video conversion, your 4K video converter has better support NVIDIA CUDA hardware acceleration.
