![]() Using Main Movie you'll get the movie itself with the audio & sub tracks you choose as a playable DVD without menus. Selecting Main Movie shows you all the titles & their contents, with what DVDFab thinks is the main movie selected by default. ![]() Towards the bottom of the window there's a text box with the disc name/title, & a drop down box where you select the target DVD size - I leave the size set for the larger dual layer discs so I always get everything without re-compression. Full Disc copies everything on the DVD: menus, features, etc., with the *Very* nice option or feature of being able to skip right to the main menu, avoiding all the ads & trailers. Using the DVD Copy portion of DVDFab, I think most people will use the 1st two choices, "Full Disc" & "Main Movie". Clicking the green check mark button on the title bar brings up info on the disc, & is also where you make any changes to the way DVDFab works or behaves - normally the defaults are just fine. Once it's done, you choose what operation you want to perform from the headings along the left side of the program window. You fire it up, pop in a disc, & wait for a minute or so as DVDFab scans & analyzes the disc. Today's GOTD is a year's license for the DVD Copy portion or feature set - because the DRM on new retail discs is constantly changing, keeping DVDFab current is a constant process, & so I guess the yearly license model makes a lot of sense from the dev's perspective.Ī mature app, DVDFab is easy to use. And all features are free for the initial trial period. the basic decrypter is always free, but it lags behind the payware versions when it comes to handling the latest DRM on the newest discs.

DVD Decrypter is still available here: Save | Cancel ![]() So, I recommend to use DVD Decrypter for unprotected DVDs, and DVDFab when it fails. DVDFab will try to copy it anyway, and if the DVD has been damaged, you will end up with a bad copy, without being clearly informed of the problem. I still prefer the good old DVD Decrypter (no longer developed, and not related to DVDFab), as it fails with an error message when it cannot read a sector of the disc that is not supposed to be a protected sector, as it should. If you cannot rip a new DVD with this GOTD, use the free DVDFab HD Decrypter, that is supposed to be updated constantly: However, since the GOTD license is valid only for the current version, it might become obsolete very soon. ), and it is usually updated as soon as a new variant of the protection is produced.

They appear to have no knowledge or use of modern software development tools and methods (e.g. Then, if you complain about the lack of stability in their product and their inability to provide software in which previously "fixed" bugs reappear, they either ban you from their support forum or delete your posts/ requests for help.Īll-in-all the dvdfab "team" does not appear to be particularly competent or professional when it comes to development and support of commercial grade software. If you attempt to get support they request large amounts of information, basically using large amounts of your time (which costs you money), to debug their problems. It seems that every time they issue a new release, either an old bug slips back in or a new one is created. The software only works correctly, intermittently.
