How to Rip Bluray DVD with Intel and AMD GPU Acceleration on Mac

GPU acceleration is widely used on Windows PC to speed up Bluray DVD ripping to MP4 MKV etc, however, I notice there are few programs that fully support Intel and AMD GPU on macOS. In this post, I’d like to share my experience of how to rip Bluray DVD with Intel and AMD GPU acceleration on Mac.

Bluray DVD Ripper with Intel and AMD GPU Acceleration for Mac

DVDFab is what I recommended as the best Bluray DVD ripping solution in 2018 and one of the top reason is that it supports different kinds of GPUs on both Windows and macOS to speed up Bluray and DVD ripping. 

Besides that, DVDFab is really powerful in remuxing Bluray without converting and rip Bluray DVD to 10bit MKV, MP4, etc with custom file names

You are able to have a free trial of DVDFab here:

Is your GPU supported for Bluray DVD Ripping?

DVDFab uses OpenCL for GPU acceleration on Mac. You can check with Apple to see if your GPU supports OpenCL and the version it supports:

And, if you go choose Mac OpenCL in DVDFab, it will notify you if it is NOT supported as you can see the example here:

Enable GPU Acceleration for Bluray DVD Ripping Mac

For some reason, GPU acceleration is disabled by default in DVDFab. If you want to rip Bluray DVD with your GPU, you will need to go Preference-General and A/V Codec and uncheck “Disable all GPU codec for decoding and encoding”:

Besides, Lighting-Recoding is for Bluray Copy, which is able to speed up the copying by up to 40%, said by DVDFab. And Lighting-Shrink is for Bluray Copy and Bluray Ripper but is only available for IQS, CUDA, and NVENC-based GPUs.
