1) Fengtao is very responsive to customs needs. |
fully agree! This software has great support!
Actually I bought a license of DVDFab Platinum mainly to support the developers! I didn't use the app very often - mainly the free ripper part - but when a products gets such great support, we should honor this.

I absolutely agree with this point! I think many users want to have a all-doing, perfectly ripping, encoding, transcoding coffe-cooking mashine...

I already believe DVDFab has
too many features, it's miles away from a simple dvd-backup software, which makes it more complex, difficult to write and therefore dificult to avoid bugs.

Actually I would recommend Fengtao to stop investing time in new features for, let's say 1-2 months, and keep the eye on fixing all known bugs. I believe this would make DVDFab 5 a great product!

Problems like those mentioned above did not happened on
version 4.1.2.0. It was flawless program. I could ripped
moives and view it later without any problems. Noted, that I
am using now using both DVDFAB 4 & 5. I wanted to
continue using version 5.0.2.2 but I think it is really not ready
for the big league. Version 4.1.2.0 is. |

Well, what makes an application to be part of "the big league"?
To me, that means
stability and trouble free working.
I want to insert the disc, start the copy process and be sure to 100% that the result is going to play on all of my standalones (Of course we take excellent media and burners as a requirement, as well as the lastest version of the apps). I want to be sure the finished copy is compatible to the official DVD-Specs and makes no troubles with any hardware- or software player I throw it at. I don' have the time nor the energy to check every disc I burn.
The one and only tool which fulfilles this expectations is
AnyDVD +
CloneDVD + Shrink
for me!
This combination has NEVER let me down, I NEVER had to check my backup (and I made several hundres with this tools, all of them play perfectly fine in all DVD-players I used)
I which DVDFab to have such a great quality, but right now - it hasn't..
Some copies don't work in
PowerDVD, some refuse to play with VLC, in earlier versions the copies took 60secons to start in my standalone...
This never happens with AnyDVD!
I bougt a license to support Fengtao and his team to make this product as stable as I would love to see it, but right now, I'm still working with my old AnyDVD/Shrink setup.
with best regards
