    I guess it's a codename, just like Penryn for Intel CPU.

    cuda is a nvidia way of counter ATI's domination @ video decoding (well that was a few yrs ago ...that ATI did have an edge @ video editting compare to Gefore cards ) . So the basic idea is CUDA= something that helps you do video editting if the software you using supports it. (waitting for openCL....)
