DVDFab HD Decrypter |
DVDFab HD Decrypter is a simple version of DVDFab "DVD to DVD" and DVDFab "Blu-ray to Blu-ray". It copies entire DVD/Blu-ray movie to hard drive, and removes all the DVD protections (CSS, RC, RCE, APS, UOPs and Sony ARccOS) and part of Blu-ray protections (AACS, BD+, RC, UOPS and BD-Live) while copying. NOTE! The decryption, DVD to HDD and Blu-ray to HDD, is FREE, if you want more features then it's a trialware. And it may take 1-6 months until it supports NEW DVD/Blu-ray releases.

Source Code, Blu-Ray, Garbage Files/Fake Play List: still not detecting the real file. There are 53 titles that contain the movie. So far I only experimented with 3 titles that contain garbage files.

Nice tool that offers DVD to HDD and Blu-ray to HDD decryption for FREE! Worked on all mot all, except one or two recent. Worth considering buying and adding into tool-box. As worked for the features stated, scored 10 out of 10

Problem with play back after ripping The Grudge. I seen this before way back in the day when The Grudge came out on DVD, after ripping it and burning it back onto a DVD the first half hour or 45 minutes is a solid black screen. I used DVD Fab 4 back in the day to RIP The Grudge and now I can't find Fab 4,5,6 & 7 which is capable to RIP The Grudge without any problems. I have DVDFAB 7 burned onto a CD which now I have to go digging around for and put that back onto the computer. Older versions of FAB should still be available and I don't know why video help does not make them available....I really need Fab 5 because that particular version was better for ripping DVD's with scratches.

Yes, clearly I was talking about the full (pay) version. For the free version, of course the value should be 10. Sorry for that confusion. What I say about the pay version still stands though.

I believe he posted in the wrong section and was talking about DVDFab paid version, but anyways that seems a little harsh. Both DVDFab and AnyDVD are great products and are the best at what they do. Simple as that.

"ricoman" You Cannot Rate Freeware Soft Over Priced. Please Take Your Words Back!

It works OK but is way overpriced. If you pay for bluray, don't expect anything but the basic free DVD with it. You have to pay extra for every single feature. Much better off with AnyDVDHD and the free Imgburn. I have both (and paid for them) and just about never use DVDFab.

@dvdsham: Have you clicked on the "Download latest beta version here" ? Because official version "Normal download" still is at 8.0.05 8.0.1.6 is Beta

I downloaded the new version 8.0.1.6 but when I launch the program in the title bar it says 8.0.0.5 version...don't know what's going on here but it's confuzzling me...

Previous poster's comment about being unable to find how to rip to HD seems inaccurate: It's right there where it's been for ages.

Still the best & updated ripping program for the money!! I'm not sure what docbill is talking about seeing as i just installed it on a fresh XP install on a new machine and it rips fine in the free mode. Right there in the main window, the big blue START button.

In the past, I've always like DVDFab free ripping the DVD to hard drive. However, with version 8 either that feature is no-longer there, or it is impossible to find in the menu. I give-up. Time to find another ripping program.

Just a note with regards to previous poster, Bill C-32 (the Canadian version of the DMCA) is not yet law, so DVD Fab HD Decrypter (and other similar programs)are NOT illegal here at this time.

DVD Fab 8.0.0.5 causes audio/video out of sync with most recent new released movie"Twilight New Moon" also with hundreds of older movies like; The Net, The Uninvited, The Wicker Man, National Treasure, Doomsday and to many others to mention. Also has incorrect media scanning with: The Sentinel, The Hunted, Four Brothers. These DVD movies scan in only being around 234MB in size and about 10 min long. DVD FAB is better off still being free or discountinued if their expecting to be paid. Plus also in Canada this program is now Illegal.

Even if you don't run your AVG on start up this is still going to happen. I have tried older versions of DVDFab and am still getting the same result, so I guess it must be residue of AVG in the system.

Lately this software has been getting much better and is about the most complete pkg for what it does. However with the new ability to convert to MKV it has become quite buggy in it's ability to overcome the MKV file to play PGS/sups. The new versions convert the PGS subs to idx/subs.With each recent version it has been making headway but on as many occasions as not it produces unplayable idx/subs and it does not include the original PGS subs. So you are left with starting over and ripping the BR and doing the conversion to MKV with other more reliable software. Until the software has the ability to produce 100% accurate idx/subs a quick fix would be to keep the original PGS intact as well as producing the IDX/sub.

this software still has an issue in the "movie only mode for bd25" (using Win7 64bit on a intel quad core) in backing up a movie title called "the mummy returns" as were "BD Rebuilder" works great. about an 1 hour & 15 to 17 minutes into the movie, the picture will start to flutter then stops & flutters there for about 1 minute or more, it is where the bird (a hawk I believe) flies up to a man sitting on a horse. I use this particular blu-ray disc, as a test bed sort a speak, with this program since v6.1.0.0 & this problem still exist to their latest v6.2.1.8 release. so I now have 1 bd25 coaster and will not trust it with anymore until I see this problem fixed. however, DVDFab has a good start and it does have a great GUI but still "BD Rebuilder" is much faster and does more for the money, oh wait, its FREE!,, if you don't plan to donate anything, but how long will the good/great software programs be around if you don't pay-to-play??? would YOU work for nothing???

at first i thought i made a mistake buying dvdfab for blu-ray. i was wrong, in the last month dvdfab has really upped this program, it is superb now for use on blu-ray

Acceptable can be problematic on some older dvds. Otherwise the program is very good.

If you disregard the trolling comment [as you should], I think everyone who's tried it agrees that for decrypting discs, DVDFab generally works, period. That in itself is fairly remarkable given that the big Hollywood studios now look at their DVD market as a nuisance, being far more concerned about DRM than whether the disc even plays -- Disney apparently even strips menus, subs, & CC out of their special, rental DVDs (Up), & who knows what out of their retail versions. Yet as the studios devise all sorts of ways to break their DVDs, fengtao keeps working constantly to release new versions to keep up with them. It takes time & money to do that, & apparently there are now sites selling illegal versions of DVDFab, so they're experimenting with ways to sell more copies -- a while back they had problems with new license-related code. Now if you use the latest free version, if/when it detects certain DVDs, a message tells you to wait for future versions or something like that, so it makes a difference whether you license the app or not -- up till now there was no reason to ever pay if all you used was the decryption. Whether that works out & stays in DVDFab time will tell. The latest DVD *Rippers* I've seen sold [not counting AnyDVD] don't decrypt the disc at all, but re-record the playing video -- many users don't know about DVDFab &/or don't notice the difference -- so DVDFab has some competition that puts more effort into sales/marketing & less keeping up with the latest DVDs. Users who feel they *have* to buy something, may choose something else besides DVDFab. Beyond decrypting discs, DVDFab also has quite a few conversion features -- whether or not you feel it's worth it, there are conversion-only apps selling for more... there is free software to do most any conversion (sometimes better), but the free stuff can also be harder to use, &/or not play nice with other apps you have installed. One thing DVDFab could use is a good manual &/or help file -- another is even a part-time DVDFab-staffed support forum, since user &/or fan mods are often knowledgeable & accurate, but seldom customer service trained or oriented, & this is something DVDFab's competition is working on. I believe Igor88 is incorrect is saying DVDFab removes the layer break, though the mistake is understandable... the layer break is not included, not a part of the files on a DVD, & apparently not a part of an ISO itself. ImgBurn can/will keep the layer break intact in it's MDS file that accompanies an ISO you make from the DVD, but if you open/burn just the ISO, it's not there -- ImgBurn then asks you to select it, suggesting a break based on a cell's seamless flag not being set.

Some real idiot comments below, by (need I say?) idiots. Nothing has changed in this software. It keeps getting updated as per normal. If you urgently want the updates for your new stupid new-release Hollywood crap DVDs, then bloody pay for it if those moronic stupid glamshit movies mean so much to you, and avoid the month delay or whatever it is. Frankly I have no sympathy for moronic assholes who get so horny over Hollywood's latest "blockbuster" shit. Go get a life. *Apologies to the person who suggested a warning about scratches on DVD, that is a good idea.

The current videohelp.com description (see above) of this software is now inaccurate. Fengtao recently changed all of their nomenclature which is very confusing. There are now effectively three versions: trialware (30 days), payware (you pay for a license), and free(cripple)ware. All are loosely called DVDFab, but that seems to particularly apply to the trialware and payware. Supposedly trialware and payware have the same functionality, except after you buy the license all restrictions are removed. The free(cripple)ware is also known as DVDFab HD Decrypter, but it is no longer a simplified version of DVDFab. All versions are the same software, installed from the same .exe file. The installation .exe files are downloaded from different links and have different names, but they're actually the same. That seems deceptive, perhaps a commercial ploy, or maybe simply lethargy in their administrative and development processes. The functionality of the free(cripple)ware is supposedly the same as the trialware and payware, except it blocks ripping of recent movies for about 60 days (they say). However in my experience the free(cripple)ware is now poorly designed, uses obscure and poorly defined nomenclature, has only incomplete and out-of-date operating instructions, and is somewhat buggy and unreliable. That's unfortunate because it was previously a useful free utility for ripping almost all DVD movies. In my opinion DVDFab is greatly overpriced and I recommend against purchase.

Overall, DVDFab is not bad. Normally it rips discs without problems. However, the one annoyance is if a disc is not perfectly clean, it will assume the disc is scratched and skip sections of the movie without telling me. For this reason, DVDFab is normally not me first choice. If there are errors, please tell me, so I can try cleaning the disc! First I try DVDShrink, which works for the average DVD. If that fails I try Ripit4me. If neither of those programs can copy the disc even after several cleanings, I then try DVDFab. The only time DVDFab has failed completely is with dithat will not play in my DVD player. I think $40 is a fair price for this program, and I would probably buy it if it had a simple pop-up to alert me to try cleaning the disc.

One gripe I have with this program (am currently using the free version) is that it removes the layer break when you're copying a dual-layer DVD to an .iso file even when you ask it not to by removing the checkmark beside "Remove layer break" under Common Settings. That's a surprising oversight for a program that costs as much as this ($50 for a 1 year license just to use the DVD functions). My "go to" programs for backing up DVDs have until lately been DVD Shrink and RipIt4Me/DVD Decrypter, but when I found I had trouble backing up the full disc of the latest Rambo movie, I tried this program out and it worked like a charm. However, I just tried to back up the 4-disc Criterion Collection release of The Last Emperor, and found that: 1. On disc 1 of the set, I get a CRC error from ImgBurn when burning the rip from DVDFab to a Verbatim DL disc (though if I click "retry" a few times, the disc does finish, finalize, and pass verification). These types of errors, I've come to find out, are usually indicative of some sort of a sneaky data protection scheme on the source disc. The same thing happened when I burned an .iso of the same disc that was made using RipIt4Me/DVD Decrypter. In other words, DVD Fab did no better than DVD Decrypter on this disc. 2. On disc 3 of the set, I got so many CRC errors while trying to burn the output from DVDFab that the burn failed midway through and could not be finished and finalized. I don't know exactly what the problem is, but it seems as though there's something about these two discs (particular disc 3) that is messing DVDFab up; maybe a protection that DVDFab isn't able to break. I had another experience where DVDFab was unable to copy a disc that had a nasty scratch, but DVD Shrink had no problem copying it at all. The free version of DVD Fab is a useful addition to one's toolkit, since it can deal with protection schemes with which DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter can't, not having been updated in a number of years. So it's good for the occasional troublesome DVD like Rambo, and it's also useful for getting data on the protection schemes used on a DVD before trying to back it up, potentially saving you from making coasters from expensive DL blanks. However, as a paid program, I don't think DVD Fab is worth what they're asking for it, especially given the problems outlined above and the fact that DVD Shrink and RipIt4Me, which are both free, can deal with about 80% of the discs out there, despite their age. I only gave the program an 8 on "ease of use" because although it is easy to use, I found the interface almost too dumbed down, which ironically made it harder to use. Instead of using a standard Windows interface, with all of the menus made clearly available up top, it took me a while to figure out how to get to the program's settings, or that you even could change the settings. I also noticed on DVDFab's website that they give you 20% off if you buy the program by such and such a date. Thing is, when "such and such" a date [fill in the blank] rolls around, the offer is always renewed for another x amount of weeks. In other words, they're using deceptive marketing practices to try to get you to buy the program RIGHT NOW. I find such practices rather insulting myself. If a 1 year license really only costs $40, then just say so, instead of charging $50 and telling people you're giving them a 20% discount for a "limited time." If you want to improve sales, then concentrate on developing a loyal customer base by improving the quality of your software, instead of using underhanded sales gimmicks like this.
