I registered on this forum specifically to ask this, so hopefully someone can help me. I have been using DVD Fab Platinum's mobile avi feature to create generic xvid files for my computer, however with almost every movie it strangely adds seconds or in one case minutes to the duration of the resulting output file. The final movie appears to the eye to be the same, but somehow it stretches and slows down some frames out enough to play for the extra time in the file.

In one really weird case it converted an episode of Penn&Teller's Bullshit that ran 29:37 to a ridiculously long 40:32. Most things however only come out 1 to 5 seconds longer which doesn't really make a difference to me. However I'd really like a fix for cases like that episode of Bullshit, and the ECW Extreme Rules dvd I ripped which runs for 2:56:53 in reality but the avi ends up running 2:57:20. I really don't want to stop using this program, because the speed and picture quality is damn good, and much faster than other programs I've tried. In the end though, if there is no remedy for this I probably will.

By the way, is there a way to use the profile of my installed xvid codec for encoding with fab.

Ting, one of the DVDFab authors, responded to this post in the original thread.

It would be nice to see a Retry option in the event the Dvd is eject by accident. Currently if a disc is ejected during a read an error report box appears with only a send or close option.

BeerWill · 06-03-2007

Great product, just needs one thing from my point of view:

Audio only extract. Specificallly MP3 of course, although other formats such as wma may be useful also.

I really hope you can add this in quickly - since you already have to encode the audio it seems like a simple thing to enable it to be saved as a seperate file.

I saw the Yamb idea in the meantime, but this is very time consuming, and effectively means the audio has been encoded twice. Please? Add it to beta soon? I've bought DVDFab Platinum so I've done my bit to help it along!

odirf · 07-03-2007

How about 64-bit support? It would improve speed and allows me to run the burning engine on my 64-bit Vista.

Fengato has said that this feature is already in the works for a future release.

The Yamb method does not recode the audio, just extracts it from the AVI, which takes less than one minute for over an hour's worth of audio. The 256kb/s MP3s that DVDFab produces sound great.

Zentraedi · 10-03-2007

Just wondering, is there any chance we could get an OSX version of DVD Region+CSS Free? That would be worth a lot to me, and I know a lot of Mac users who would be interested in it as well.

Thanks.

When converting a movie with an AC3 (Dolby Digital) 5.1 surround soundtrack to an .AVI with an MP3 soundtrack, I'd love to see that MP3 soundtrack retain the surround sound information as far as possible. That can be done with a matrix downmix into Dolby ProLogic II.

Dolby ProLogic II allows a receiver to decode the left and right surround channels in a recording that is compatible with regular stereo, with only two discrete channels stored.

Other DVD converting applications have this functionality, in some cases without even advertising it. It is also implemented in open source software such as AC3Filter.

WinTakeAll · 12-03-2007

Oh, and about the Dolbut ProLogic II request, I also wanted to add that this is the defacto professional way to create a soundtrack for a movie when only two channels can be stored; it is used everywhere from the optical analog soundtrack on actual theatre film copies through VHS stereo to additional language DVD soundtracks.

But DVDFab only creates a flat stereo downmix (as of 3.0.8.6).

If DVDFab's authors wanted to get really fancy they could also consider an option for creating Dolby Headphone surround downmixes which would be great for mobile devices. Clearly this is lower priority though.

phredeaux · 13-03-2007

With dual-core systems common these days and quad-core systems around the corner, making DVDFab multi-threaded on the first pass on a high quality encode would help a lot. Running on a dual processor dual core Opteron system only one CPU is maxed out. The second pass seems to spread the load better, though it is still fairly asymmetric and neither the CPU nor the DVD-ROM is maxed out, not sure where the problem is there.

FrasierCrane · 16-03-2007

Hi!

It would be nice if DVDFab could display info about the video standard of the DVD. E.g. PAL/NTSC, resolution, FPS, etc.)

CloneDVD does that already and I think it's a very nice feature which I often need to make sure a disc is compatible to my playing environment.

Thanks!

FrasierCrane · 16-03-2007

Hi!

It would be great if DVDFab could make simple changes to the menu of DVDs in customize mode. E.g. strip some annoying warnings or trailers, disable some buttons (e.g. when the video material has been stripped), etc.

This doesn't need to be complex - just very basic functionality would be enough.

Thanks!

Ojibwas · 18-03-2007

Make VCD's

dhellman · 21-03-2007

Please support Apple TV formats

QuickTime Export to Apple TV
"Apple's latest release of QuickTime offers something very interesting for those waiting on the Apple TV. QuickTime Pro users can now "Export to Apple TV" ... "

Thanks!

DoctorJellybean · 23-03-2007

I'm not sure if this has been suggested before.

What about a progress indicator in the taskbar when minimizing DVDFab? When I'm copying discs, I minimize the program and carry on with whatever I'm busy with. Therefore an updated progress bar would be helpful as it will tell me how the process is progressing.

LH07 · 26-03-2007

I purschased dvdfab platinum a few weeks ago. I really like it.

Feature suggestion: convert divx files to ipod and PSP movies.

RECON · 27-03-2007

Feature suggestion: convert divx files with mp3 audio 112 kb/s in extension to 128 kb/s will fit some movies to cd-r source better.

bmcfarl · 29-03-2007

Hi Guys :-)

When I first used DVDFab, I didn't set the audio of the iPod file properly. In fact, I kept it at 100%, which didn't work well for me.

Unfortunately, I didn't notice this problem till I had converted several files. So, here's a wish item for DVDFab...

I wish DVDFab had an option to take a mobile file, such as a MPEG4 or H264 iPod file, and just allow the increase/decrease in the audio level without touching the quality of the video. I know this sounds like a crazy option to have, but I think it would be great when making sure the audio output of a mobile file is high enough to sound good on the iPod, etc.

Later Fellas!

What setting did you find worked well? Somewhere between 130-150% seems to be good for the PC based players I use with the Generic xvid aac and MP3 profiles.

dragondad · 30-03-2007

Fengtao.
I installed the trial version, and when I put in DVD + R, the error message said "no media detected".
What is the solution, as I like to purchase this software if I can use it.
Thank you.

bmcfarl · 03-04-2007

Hi Signals :-)

150% to 300% worked well. Where this comes into play is when I play my iPod through my car radio via a wireless transmitter. The transmitter doesn't recognize the volume control on the iPod. It uses a fixed audio level coming from the iPod connector.

If you would BUY the Platinum then you would have those options, Looks like looking a gift horse in the mouth huh?

rogman49 · 06-04-2007

And DVD Platinum is well worth the price!

Mike89 · 06-04-2007

It would be nice if somehow DVDFab could include an option to change widescree to Pan & Scan. This can be done with RipIt4Me using PgcEdit through the "Tools" option. Nice option to have for those that might want to use it (I use it for every one and like the results).
