DVDFab Official/Beta release thread (post updates here)

Would definitely be interested in how your comparison plays out. Like you said on some movies it could save a step or two if it works well. Thanks for the latest update as well.

 

I thank you kind sir.

 

Didn't even know that 5.0.8.2 Beta was out.

Need to test it =)

 

Anyone tried this yet? I haven't as of yet, but i'm intrigued by the idea.

Thoughts?

 

I haven't yet, but I want to use that option on a few videos.

 

Tried this process today ripped main movie only, so very little compression was needed. Ripped, encoded, and burned with Fab. Only I did run it through FixVTS just to be on the safe side, the results were very good just as rtm said they would be. Scored 98 on Nero Speed, so I was happy. Haven't made myself waste a TY to burn the same file with ImgBurn yet, but probably will to satisfy my curiosity.

P.S- Burned at 9.25X avg. speed because I was too dumb to check the settings before I hit start. Usually burn at 6X on ImgBurn.

Edit: Same file with ImgBurn scored 97.

 

Thanks for the research Ferguj!

I'm going to try a similar test soon, just for giggles.

 

Just tried out the new formats. I ripped a couple videos from a dvd I have (Love Actually), and used the 'audo only' funtion. You have a choice of not only which format you want the audio to (mp3, mp4 i saw) but, you can also pick the bitrate (64-320). Took just over a minute to do. Sounds pretty good too.

 

Anyone having any problems with the latest release 5.0.8.2? Today I received two different BSOD and twice Fab just closed in the middle of processing. Could just be coincidense and the problem lies elsewhere, just thought that I would check.

 

I haven't had any trouble with 5.0.8.2 since I installed it. I have 8 dvd's to run thru it tonight, so it should get a good work out after these.

 

On a different note, I have another question. It is partly Fab related so I don't feel too bad posting here. Do any of you guys own AnyDVD as well or strictly Fab? The reason I ask is that I like Fab alot but I waited too long to purchase so I got stuck with the yearly renewal deal, really sucks. Anyway, slysoft is running a 20% off deal, plus the dollar has improved a little so AnyDVD can be bought for around 59.00 with lifetime updates. Just curious as to your guys opinions on the matter.

P.S- I am not asking which is better, I know that there are multiple threads for that. I like both progs, just curious and most of the members I want to ask have been hanging out here lately.

 

I only have dvdfab. I liked it soo much, I bought 2 keys...one for my desktop and one for my laptop. I never tried to use anydvd. Once I started using dvdfab I was hooked.

 

There's quite a few regulars here that own both.

One cannot have too many proverbial tools in one's toolbox.

 

Yes sir!! I have plenty of tools in the tool box. lol.

...gm

 

Yeah I have both and like you I will have to pay Fab yearly, I think the fee is fairly cheap. Don't know exact amount. I use AnyDVD for anything hard. I use Fab just to keep up with latest and to keep my old mind knowing how to use it. It could be a little more user friendly.

 

I bought Platinum before the increase; and had been using HD Decrypter for quite a while.

In retrospect, i should've picked up Anydvd before the hike as well.

 

As of yet, i have not had any crash problems with 5.0.8.2.

 

Let us know when they get the latest version right I have not done the beta yet.
