This software allowed me to edit out an annoying microsecond flash of a DVD menu at the start of a film presumably a mastering error in a commercial R1 DVD I own. At high bitrates I found that its onboard Xvid build codec looked much better than the xH264vfw version it has on offer which produced washed out colors and over smoothing of fine detail. Of course totally dated now, but FU Wizard still has its uses and legacy Xvid is a fast codec to use.

Very dated now, but useful nonetheless. I've also seen very little/marginal quality differences at higher bitrates between using either its inbuilt Xvid version or x264 build(which I don't rate that much or it could be the profile settings?), especially after inputting NTSC dvd iso images. So I prefer the sharper more filmic image of Xvid for relatives' dvd players rather than this washed out over smooth x264 version.

I mostly agree with the previous comment that Staxrip is the way to go, but a bit of a strong learning curve. Hybrid is another good one, but not for dummies. Handbrake is the happy medium as it's freeware too. That said Fu Wizard can still hold its own with dvd as that medium is surprisingly not dying out just yet. Look how vinyl has made a comeback and vhs. Old but not obsolete! Only thing holding back Fairuse Wizard would be whether or not it works in Win 10/11? Also you are restricted to iso inputs only, which is annoying.

Hi Guys, in it's day it was a wonderful program, and it really did hold it's own for so long even after development stopped. However programs like Ripbot264 is far superior in nearly everyway, and if you need more customizable power, then Staxrip is another one to go for.
But again, as great as FUW was, it really should not be used anymore, it's..... dead.
