    For the most part DVD REbuilder and DVDFab serve to different purposes. The main purpose of Fab is to rip your dvd, the same as dvd decrypter only updated where decrypter is not. DVD Rebuilder will re-encode your files in order to fit them to a standard DVD-5 disk.

    In short, you're best to use the two programs in conjunction.

    OK I know this is probably stupid but I really want to get everything right. I have DVDFab for ripping. Does everyone use Full Disc setting on DVD9, then open DVD ReBuilder and compress the DVD9 to the size of DVD5, and then burn on ReBuilder? Or Fab? I want the best picture and I don't care about time. I just am sick of reading half information on what to do. Pointless to spend all the money and not get the best out of it, right? Thanks in advance

    Rip with DvdFabDecrypter

    Process with fixvts / vobblanker

    Compress with dvd rebuilder (can use dvd shrink if compression is not very high)

    Burn with imgburn

    I really hate to hijack this thread. I need to know it the process of fixvts / vobblanker, is this mean one or the other. I ask because ever since I stopped using RipIt4Me/Decrytor I feel I have lost picture qulity. So Is this why. Should I be using one or both of fixvts / vobblanker?

    I am back...years away from the forum that started it all for me. I haven't made any DVD's in awhile. I found new home pleasures. But on occasion I Do enjoy a good Archive of a DVD.

    Thanks in advance.

    And once again sorry for the hijack...I saw an opportunity and took it.

    It is meant as being either program will work. Both are simple to use in their easiest form, and both give good results.

    I very rarely use FixVTS myself, mainly Vobblanker. I use it in it's simplest form, ie after every rip with DVDFab 5.x or 6.x i run the ripped files thru Vobblanker, it's literally a case of selecting input and output directory and hitting 'Process'. This 'cleans' the files as DVDFab no longer produces the clean rips it used to (ie i still use 4.1.2.0 heavily, no need to cleanup after that). Well it might be producing clean rips these days, but as i've been stung by a few versions not cleaning properly i'm afraid i don't trust it anymore and just use Vobblanker after each and every rip.

    They're both very complex programs but i personally only use the simplest functions as described above.

    Thanks guys. Now I feel I have the resolution to go back to flawless copies. I was using CloneDVD/AnyDVD for awhile because it's so darn simple. But same thing...noticeable loss in quality unless I go DVD-9 and still some quality loss.
