Would be nice if DVDFab has a "Verify written data" feature as dvd+r are defect sometimes.

Compatibility with Vista Aero interface.
DVDfab is a great app but interface is ugly IMO.

Hello.
(I have the Plat ver.)

First...I totally love this product. : )

It would save me several extra steps if this product could
save to a MPEG 2 format with audio.

Maybe ask for bit rate (2000kb, 3000kb, etc..)
and ask if we wanted to keep current aspect ratio
or convert to 4:3 or 16:9, etc....

Overall though.....I really love this product...keep up the great work.!!!

hey great program guys on dvdfab 3 but i would like to know if you guys can put a video viewer so we can see what were copying but great work you guys rock

You mean something different from the preview window?

Great Product.
The one thing I would like to see improved is

The VIDEO PREVIEW Window. Could you please make the VIDEO SLIDER REAL TIME.

In another product I used to use the video slider to select a chapter or title and then I would drag it from begining to end to see if there was any content that I wanted to include in my custom movie creation.

The video preview would be much more helpfull to me if this ability was implemented. I don't really use the preview the way it is set up now because it just takes too much time to "watch" the movie in real time mode instead of being able to see the specific video frame depending on where the slider is at the moment.

Thanks.

How about an ISO loader so that you can view your iso image to ensure quality and such before doing your burn, kind of like what ROXIO does with their ISO image loader utility.

Paul I think they mean the preview window that keeps on showing all the time like other programs have = watching the whole movie while it's burning, I have a program that does that but not going to name it here as I respect FAB's forum and not going to name another program.It also has a slider so you can start the burn wherever you want

DVD Fab supporting XVid encoding is nice, but why not allow configurabe encoders as well? Specifically I want DIVX. I know XVID and DIVX essentially output to the same format, but DIVX is optimized for multi core CPU's and is a lot faster. It also has better optimizations and encodes better.

As a new user of DVDFab 3 Platinum I would like to sent congrats to the developers for an outstanding product. I have found one change I would like to see incorporated into a future update....While using "Main Movie" to backup several of my Region 1 movies with alot of foreign language being spoken (i.e., Last Samuri, Babel, etc.), the translated english that normally apears on the screen is absent. Only using the "Full Movie" mode does the translated english appear. I was using 321International's DVDXCopy 5.0 Platinum prior to switching over to DVDFab and their "Simple" mode still retained the translated dialog in english. This doesn't appear to be conected to selecting or deselecting the additional languages in the "Main Movie" splash screen. It would be a nice feature if this problem(?) could be resolved in a future release.

Thanks again for taking your product where others fear to go.

Welcome to the forum! The problem with what I call the "translation subtitles" is that the way they are done has varied over time and is apparently still changing. With "Die Another Day" R1 for example, to get the english translation of the spoken korean, both the main english and the translation english subpicture streams must be selected for inclusion in DVDFab's subpicture window. It seems the translation subtitles are just a subset of the full english subtitle set and if the full set is not selected, no english subtitles appear. I suspect that this function is controlled from the IFO file for the main title VOBs but haven't looked to verify. This may be the case for the titles you mention as well. Think of Full Disc as Fab's "simple" mode. It processes all subpicture streams, so the translation subtitles will still appear. If you select the proper elements in the subpicture box, the should also be there for all the DVD-->DVD modes. They do not appear on my player automatically in some cases (with original disc or backup) and must be selected for diaplay manually. This is just my theory, but has held true for several recent releases.

Support for 3G2 mobile format. I appears that a lot of phones are now using 3G2 support. I thought that watching a TV show on the mobile phone would be not be worth it but I was surprised. I used DVDFab to convert the DVD recording to avi format and another freeware tool to convert from avi to 3g2 (176:144). I watched the show while commuting to work. I would be nice to do this in one step. I was also surprised that a 1 hour show only took about 90Meg of memory. I have a 1Gig card so I can hold several hours and have room left for songs.

Converting to PSP format = poor audio quality

Thank you for a great converter. I only have one major problem.

When using DVDFab to transfer movies to PSP you can't get more than 64 kbps sound quality. This is as high as you can get in the options menu.

I also tried adjusting the volume during conversion. But no matter what the sound quality sucks. The sound quality in PSP Video 9 is much better. In my opinion this actually makes DVDFab useless for PSP-conversion. Too bad because DVDFab is otherwise an excellent converter and the sound quality on the PSP is top notch when you use headphones.

Is it possible to fix this and allow encoding in 128 and 192 kbps?

It already can do this. 3gp IS MP4 (mp4 video, and mp4 audio). I just tried it with my Borat DVD (get it earlier because of where i work. Worth buying, pretty funny. I just converted a bonus video clip, and my Samsung A920 played it just fine. You just tweak the setting is all. I will in the near future actually make a preset and post it. Maybe the authors might include it.
Right now i used the 176x120 (16x9 video clip is why) and 256 Bitrate, 14.98Fps (looks just fine on a small screen. You wouldn't think so in the days of Doom1 on a 486, unplayable!!), 64kbs Audio, 1pass (2 pass isn't ever needed for this size. Could help, but tried it, couldn't see any difference to the naked eye.)

I will mess with this more later and tweek the best settings for lowest filesize vs. best retained quality. I already have a tweaked setting i use to convert my Simpsons, and Family Guy episodes using 'Xilisoft's Video Convertor 3', but it looks like this will work just as good now instead, now that Preset making is possible. You don't even have to change the file extention. It's recognized anyway!!!

UPDATE!!-
I quick threw together something before leaving, since it was pretty quick to do- copy and past into a text file, and rename it to 'generic.cellphone.mp4.aac.xml'

<profile name="generic.cellphone.mp4.aac" version="200" device="generic" tag="dvdfab,cellphone" description="The profile is used to create mp4(mpeg4 + aac) file, which can be played on Cellphone's.">

Maybe someone else here can help with getting things to show a separate "Mobile Phones" to show in the left side list along with Generic/Psp/iPod, that was i can further tweak it to have this as one profile under that. I don't personally know how, but probably could later by using that 1 user who did this already but for the Creative MP3 player, might take a look at that later when i get some time. Enjoy!!!

This is my big pet peeve with DVDFab.. I had to actually pull out a copy of the old DVD Decrypter to rip a couple of movies that Fab Decypter couldn't handle correctly..

DVDPlatinum great to backup my DVDs but I cant copy my back ups. Any ideas?

I wonder why I can and you can't

Just what kind of problems are you having ? Like Stormjumper said he can and so can I
Jim

The movie Stranger Than Fiction by Sony region 1 has 90 some bogus video-ts files that Plat 3.0.8.0 fails to fix could you please look at this in your next update, Thanks
Jim

Glad this request made it Thank you. Just waiting now for automatic hard drive folder selection (when set in settings) when starting up, instead of having to click the folder icon.

Have you tried UNchecking both boxes in Common Settings-->Protection that remove UOPs from IFOs and VOBs?

The inability to verify the burn is the only thing stopping me from buying DVDFAB.
If you implement this you will have another customer .And you don't have to implement this for all burning engines,just yours (althought nerocmd already has this feature so if you at least add that as an option or add the ability to customize or add additional switches to nerocmd that would be great as well).

I don't know if this has been suggested here, but a setting selection similar to anydvd's Remove annoying Adverts and trailers Jump directly to main or title menu, would be great. This feature is the main reason I use Anydvd for decrypting instead of Fab.

If you click on "Customize", I think you will find what you are looking for. I use this for episode disks to get rid of the annoying intros and promos. It goes straight to the main menu. Just select the Items you want to work from the main menu. Everyting else, if clicked on and not present, will return you to the "Main Menu". No glitches,.... no problems. Works the same for movies and special features. Want to get the movie and the Music video on the same disk WITH the menus ???? Select "Customize" in DVDFAB Platinum and select what you want. Best program I have ever used.

Try It

I already posted this, but it looks more likely to get answered in this thread:

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.
