DVDFab's new versions are always full of issues. Since releasing v12 in October 2020 their change log shows 78 bugs fixed. Some of those have existed since 12.0.0 was released. I tended to stay on the previous version whilst they got they act together (I should say whilst their paying customers endured months of issues and did their testing for them). This is not new, I've been with them for over a decade and nothing has improved, indeed things have gotten worse.
When you buy a license you are no longer able to test new versions independently of your current license, unless you pay more money on top of the absurd amounts you've already paid. I paid A$700 for two lifetime license (Because they added products and individual purchases was even more expensive). One version on one PC. Given their new releases are abhorrent it makes sense to test it before loading it on a production PC. Nope not allowed. You have to blindly take a leap of faith and just pray it works, coz once you've upgraded you can't go back.
Of the 150 programs I have to test and manage DVDFab is the only program I can't test without violating their license agreement.
They recently "banned" v11 so that you can no longer run it. Without any notification or professional courtesy telling people that they were going to do it so people could start testing and migrating.
It's not as if the quality of the output is great. And bugs I've reported as much as 5 years ago remain outstanding. Please their Cinavia claims are just totally untrue, until you read the fine print you will be misled in to thinking they've got you covered.
Do yourself a favor - find a different product. I'm sure there are a bunch a free products around that work better and are not as restrictive. I know I'm going to start weaning off DVDFab. |
