The way I have always used DVDFab, from the early days of the freeware version, is I copy the DVD to my hard drive first. I have other software that I use to either compress it, put the DVD on iPod, etc. So all I need is to get the DVD to my hard drive and work from there.

Yes I can change the "Target" device and use DVDFab just fine. But I have always wondered if there is a way to create a registry key, something, so that I have a choice on the menu in DVDFab to choose "Copy to hard drive".

Any ideas?

Someone asked for something similar a few weeks (?) ago in the "Feature Request" thread. I think it was for a button or checkbox in Common Settings to "Make HDD Default Target". Keep an eye on the notes for each new release, it may show up. Not sure how you would make a registry hack for that work and still have access to the optical drive. Maybe someone will have a better suggestion for you.

I have selected the "Folder" option in the common settings area. It would be nice though to have a DVD to DVD group and a DVD to Folder group.

Not a make or break thing. Just a suggestion,
