DVDFab Platinum 3.2.0.0 Updated!

* New: Brand new "PathPlayer" technology to remove latest DVD copy protection.

"PathPlayer" gives DVDFab the ability to copy DVD content only allowed to be played on a real DVD player. In this way, DVDFab will ignore unplayable content which may contain copy protection.

Please note when "PathPlayer" is enabled, opening a DVD may need up to several minutes, which is much longer than before.

* New: "DVD to Mobile" feature uses a lot of of open source libraries, like FFmpeg, x264, xvid, liba52, faac, lame, etc. DVDFab is compatible with open source GPL/LGPL license, and thanks for the help of open source community.

How "PathPlayer" works?
"PathPlayer" works like a real DVD player, it follows every play path of a DVD, visits every thing that you can access on DVD player with a remote controller. When "PathPlayer" finishes, we can know all the DVD content that a real DVD player will read. The copy protection exists in the unplayed DVD content, DVDFab will not read it when copying.

Note: "PathPlayer" is a very powerful technology. We have done test with all our discs which means it's very stable now. But it's completely new so if you encounter problem that some DVD content is not copied, please tell us, thanks!

I've never had an issue with DVDFab when backing up a DVD or Blu-ray. It's simple enough for my sister to use to backup her DVD movies as protection from her grandchildren. I recently upgraded to the all-in-one to use the video converter option, specifically for my Hauppauge 1212 HD-PVR h264 captures in 1080i/720p. The converter fails on this file type, and by this I mean the progress indicator never goes above 0% completion even after hours, and no file is produced. If I feed the converter an x264 AVI it has no problem, so it looks like the the software has issues with the h264 video from the Hauppauge. I checked their forum but there appears to be no answers to multiple people reporting the converter failure. So for those looking to use this feature be advised that it looks like it's currently a work in progress.

This is a very good decrypter. As a DVD copier/transcoder it's kind of useless.

Problem is, it doesn't have a 2 pass mode for reencoding or transcoding DVDs. You cannot get high quality results without 2 pass.

Fortunately there's a good solution which does make DVDFab useful. It does involve an extra step, and an extra up to 8 and a half gigs spare drive space, but it's not slower.

First use DVDFab as a decrypter (the free part). Send the output to a folder in DVD9 mode. It'll just do a bit copy and strip out the copy protection.

Then use that as input to DVD Shrink. This is free but doesn't always decrypt newer DVDs like Disney since it's notn supported anymore. But in every other way it's far superior. It does 2 pass (they call it deep analysis mode) and will also apply sharpen or soften effects. The latter is very useful if you want to compress a movie that is 2 1/2 hour or more.

This sounds like it'd be slower but it isn't, though there's an extra step. Just taking out the copy protection is pretty fast, and then the optical drive isn't used until you want to burn the new DVD. Doing the encoding from the HD speeds up the process a lot.

So yes, I use DVDFab, and I'd recommend it, but only the decrypter part. Fortunately that's the free part.

DVDFab is the premiere software that bypasses DVD/Blu-ray encryption and I've been using it successfully for years. However, with my recent induction in the world of Blu-ray copying, I had to look for an alternative program to condense Blu-ray movies larger than a 25GB BD-R to fit since DVDFab's quality is pretty horrendous. I posed the question in another rival Blu-ray copying program's forum by the name of MultiAVCHD, which is a fine FREE program but the instructions the developer has written aren't very clear nor are they complete as he is from another country. When I asked about the best quality of all the programs, someone mentioned BD Rebuilder which is another FREE program and I thought I'd give it a try. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised and extremely satisfied!! BD Rebuilder is far superior to DVDFab when it comes to shrinking or condensing larger sized movies to fit on 25GB BD-Rs retaining the quality of the original Blu-ray film.

To prove to myself there was a definite difference, I did a comparison of the movie "The A-Team" condensed to fit on a 25GB BD-R with just video and the DTS audio track on DVDFab vs. BD Rebuilder...

"The A-Team" condensed to fit on 25GB BD-R with DVDFab

As you can see, the DVDFab version looks horribly washed out with blacks crushed whereas the BD Rebuilder version looks robust, crystal clear, the blacks are consistently black and the scene is full of color just like the original disc.

Wanted a free app to backup with minor re-authoring (trimming front and end and commercials removal) of DVDs which DVD Shrink 3.2 could not handle and the puffs for DVDFab indicated that commercials could be removed and trimming done, however in DVD Copy mode and its sub-sets I find the start and end timings adjustable only per chapter - not much use for a one Title with no Chapters 43 minutes DVD created from an online rip of a VHS tape.

Back to the likes of RipIt4Me and Smartripper?

I have been using DVDFab for several years. It’s the easiest to use compared to other programs and you can’t tell the difference between the compressed video output and the original when backing up your DVDs. If you have an issue or problem, tech support is quick to respond to your e-mails. I highly recommend it.

The movie Agora, when converted to MKV or .VOB the file will not play on Nero Showtime or on the Western Digital Media Player unless you drag the play bar. I then tried using "MAKE MKV" program and the end of the equal sign is the same outcome, the movie will not play unless you drag the play bar. I tried using "DVDFAB PASS KEY 7" re-coded the file in Nero and then convert to MKV using "DVDFAB 8" and the same issue occurred.

Agora can be copied to DVD media and the movie will play without issues. I tried to convert the movie to AVI and of course the movie will not play unless you drag the play bar. I think this could be a new protection in the making.

This is the best version of FAB I have ever used!! This version is still simple to rip and convert. I have the Western Digital TV LIVE Network Player and the MKV converter tool in FAB makes it fast and easy to convert while ripping DVDS without time code errors. This version is worth the $50.00 and makes a great investment which I will be buying and I hope Fantigo software accepts pre-paid visa because I never use my actual VISA credit card for online purchases.

Framerate change in dpg profile has no influence on the final encoded file, it's always same as source.
Subtitle size is not changeable, at low resolutions it's to big and to small at higher resolutions.

Works as advertised. Been using it for years now without issues.

The only knock I have against it is the subscription approach.

Not sure what the previous reviewer doubleBB is talking about. DVDFab is a decrypter not an h264 encoder. Maybe he or she got mixed up and put a review for some other software app.

At first I used DVDFab 5 to rip scratched DVDs because DVD Decrypter has no facility to skip bad sectors. Later when I experimented with encoding I tried DVDFab which is a fairly respectable video encoder, and unlike freeware like AutoGK or WinFF can be easily customised by the newbie. Its only real weakness is a lack of any option to de-interlace, and default settings (eg. the framerate) that may only increase the encoding time and produce worse results.
It has the ability to encode a DVD on the fly but I still prefer to rip and then encode (usually with Nero Recode) to save wear and tear on the DVD drive.

Nero Recode can encode a DVD into its "standard" format very quickly but grinds to a comparative halt when encoding to H264, DVDFab seems to have the edge here as it can encode to H246 and AAC in a reasonable timeframe. However when Nero Recode's 2-pass is so quick and it can intelligently resize, I usually use that (I wish newbies who squash full-res video into a few hundred megabytes did too). For encoding for uploading to the internet, I would probably use DVDFab 5 as it can encode in common formats like xvid and mp3, even if I have to guess the most appropriate size and aspect ratio. I recently discovered that DVDfab can extract the audio from a DVD, much easier than using DVD Decrypter.

MISS CHIEVOUS, I am not sure if you are looking in the proper location. My DVDFab (version 6) has the option to save as an ISO, located at the target buttons, which is placed below the source button.

Hope this help.

NO ISO IMAGE CREATION. With all the conversion features crowding this program you'd think the authors could manage to fit one lousy "Save to an ISO file" option. $50, and it can't even generate an image file? It's inexcusable.

To get the mobile option to never expire go to the DVDFab web site. Click on the Support tab. Now click on the Lost your registration key link and fill in the info requested to have your key resent to you. The key that you get is different from the version 5 one. Open DVDFab 6 paste in this new key and your mobile option will show never expire again. I haven't had time to try out the new version yet, but it looks pretty good.

(A) If you'd read the support forum, this is a known bug. Your lifetime key will still work as it always did once the bug is fixed.

(B) 6.0.0.0 is a beta. Expect bugs.

(C) Repeat step (B) until it sinks in.

So much for, "For registered users of DVDFab Platinum/Gold, your key is still valid for version 6, and all features are same as version 5 or more than it."

Not sure why plcpower is having problems but obviously others are not as he is the only one stating that it closes.

I have ripped several disc's with this version and it works perfectly fine.
Also one of my buddies has been using the "mobile" conversion on quite a few versions for his Ipod Touch with zero issues.
