Good to see this thread active again. Movie companies try all kind of tricks to prevent people from backing up their DVDs. They also spend more than enough trying to prevent backups, to cover cost of putting an extra copy of the DVD with your purchase for backup in case your original is destroyed. Cost to them is pennies to put a back up with an original, but they want you to pay about $20.00 for another copy.

Actually it is harder to physically destroy CD/DVD media than most people think. I know if that is your intention it is easy, but I am talking about everyday usage. Scratches do not scare me, I can take my disc repair machine and 2-4 drops of Brasso and polish most scratches out. I found a CD while pumping gas that had been stepped on, slid across concrete, and was very damaged. I thought this is a good test disc since I would never damage a disc to this level, so I through it in the car. Some days later when I remembered thinking about it being in the car, I brought it in the house, put a few drops of Brasso on my repair machine, run it through a couple of repair cycles, then a few cleaning cycles, and then it playeeeeeeeeeeeeeed.

I am sitting here recovering from 2 open hernia surgeries, hope to become more active soon. There is no tutorial for version 3 and I have requested that others who find a trick or really know a process well to write the instructions down and PM me so you can send them by email to me. I will edit them all together giving all who participate credit for taking part in the project, then will send a finished copies to all who take part. When we all agree, I will send it to fengtao who I am sure will appreciate it because Ting and him are so busy making the product better. I have put this request out before, but received no responses.

Example of a trick: one time I could not get Platinum to decrypt, so use DVDFab Decrypter to rip to HD, then burnt with Platinum.

Since this is instructions for DVDFab, limit all instructions to DVDFab.
