“Lite-On has built our brand by using innovation to serve consumers. When we discovered the difficulties users had with current burning software we knew that we had used this ability to create a solution. MyDisk Suite is the first disc software built to fit with the way the social generation uses burners, customizes, and shares. Its rich, simple-to-use interface integrates PC, iPhone, and iPad”, said Marketing Manager.

VSO Blu-ray Conversion software products now gain in speed and performance when used with computers equipped with a Nvidia Cuda graphic card.
Instead of using the CPU’s resources, the conversion process is handled by the graphic card resources, improving video encoding/decoding speed dramatically.
This also means that the CPU’s resources are available to perform other tasks while the conversion is running: no more slow computers and extended conversion duration!
Tests show that conversions can be up to 4 times faster with Cuda and uses half CPU ressources and memory.
In Blu-ray to DVD, the decoding part is automatically supported by Cuda if it is detected on the computer. For Blu-ray to PS3 both decoding and encoding will be done by Cuda if selected by the user. Coming next: Cuda support will be integrated in ConvertXtoDVD
