DVD Fab HD Decrypter Guide

Quote:

DVD Fab HD Decrypter is an easy to use, freeware program that allows you to backup DVD’s, HD DVD’s and Blu-ray Discs. We decided to make a quick guide to show you just how easy it is to backup a Blu-ray Disc using DVD Fab HD Decrypter. We used an LG GGW-H10N Blu-ray/HD DVD drive in this guide, but any Blu-ray or HD DVD drive can be used with DVD Fab HD Decrypter. Thanks to zevia at CDFreaks for making this quide possible.

Sorry newb question....why does DVDFab rip to .m2ts and not say .mp4 or .264, .H264 ?

Also, another dumb follow up but I see alot of players can play MKV container so was wondering if/how a m2ts or mp4/264 is put into a MKV container....this assumes HDD playback...not burn to disc.

Thanks....and sorry if these are dumb questions.

Right now I copy/backup my SD DVDs to my HDDs and use XLobby front-end with TheaterTek player to launch/play. I'm running the Video_TS.IFOs which launch all the VOBs for the movies.

So, I guess my follow up question on the above is if I were to mimic the above setup with BluRay or HD DVDs (assuming I had the PC hardware...Gfx card, drive, etc.) do I use DVD Fab to rip to HDD and just have PowerDVD HD run the M2TS ? What does PowerDVD HD point to...ala like Video_TS.IFO in SD DVD ? I see in PowerDVD documentation they say .264 support so do I need Nero7 to convert the DVD Fab ripped HD/BD folder to .264 file to run ? They do say HD MPEG-2 is supported so perhaps this means M2TS ?

Thanks !

O.K. TWO questions here.
1. When I go to play those .m2ts files I get a nice video, but no audio. What player are you guys using to play this file from your HDD, and which files are you loading to play?

2. If I wanted to back it up to a BD+R disc, do I save it as a DATA disc and copy all the folders to it?

Will it work with BD+ ?

Ever since I installed the new DVDFab HD Decrypter, Blu-ray will not work. If I put in a blu-ray disc it looks to scan it them immediatle stops and shows no disc. HD-dvd works, dvd works. But no blu-ray?? I have done clean un-install, re-installed etc. Still not luck. I even did a clean install on the computer and still it would not read blue-ray, it always did not problem in the past versions. I even tried going back to the older version, still nothing! I installed AnyDVD HD and it works fine with Blu-ray, and all movies play, so it is not the drive. Any ideas?

What do you mean by "Blu-ray will not work"?

Your Blu-ray player will no longer play Blu-ray, or your Blu-ray DVDFab will no longer decode properly? I have DVDFab HD, and so far I can still play Blu-rays on it, but I have not tried to back anything up on it yet.

I went back to my laptop after reading your post, and I agree the new DVDFab HD no longer works in backing up Blu-ray DVD's. The player still works, but DVDFab is no longer able to backup Blu-ray, installing the older software did not work either. I guess a wait for an update is in order.

I bought 2 HD-DVD players, the Xbox 360 HD-DVD and the HP external. Both players with DVDFab HD start off with about 2-4mb/sec and after a few minutes drop to less than 1Mb/sec ripping speed. So an HD-DVD movie can take up to 10 hours. I noticed though that it only took about 15-20 minutes for the folder in the hard drive to show 13Gb in an evo file.
I am running on a Thinkpad with a 2Ghz cpu and 1.5g of memory. The target HD is on USB external.

When I tried copying the HD files directly they went much faster to the hard drive so it shouldn’t be an I/O issue.

I was unable to et the DVDFab HD to rip hard drive to hard drive.

Any ideas?

Has any else had any issue trying to backup the Transformers on HD DVD? DVD Fab HD starts up looks like it's reading the edia and then it stops and acts like there is no disk in the drive.

I think your drive has been "revoked". Read this.

I would think if that was the case it would not play the movies. Which it does just fine. I just can't get DVD Fab HD to recognize it.

You're probably right. Mine won't even play them.

Why would you do that? Just copy the files across!

The keys have been revoked for HDDVD. You won't be able to back up any of the latest HDDVDs for a while

Now we see both Blu-ray & HD keys get revoked.

Is this the movies or is it the the actual drive that is revoked with the DVDFab HD program?

What action causes this revocation?

Is it possible to unrevoke it?

Should we just uninstall DVDFabHD for now?

Don't know if it is the drive or the driver, but a new HD-DVD revoked the drive or player in my new HP HGX notebook. Won't even recognize them now.

DVDFABHD will still work for other movies just not the HD or Blu Ray please look for a post that I posted about Info For Blu Ray & HD and that might help explain it a little better, look up about 6 post for one from Signals as he had a link to my post in it (read this) Post #11

For other movies I uses DVDFab Platinum. So if DVDFab HD does not work for Blu-ray nor HD movies there really is no point in having it installed if your a DVDFab platinum owner right?

I did read the link you mentioned, but unless I missed it that also does not answer those questions.

Is this the movies or is it the the actual drive that is revoked with the DVDFab HD program?

What action causes this revocation?

Is it possible to unrevoke it?

Should we just uninstall DVDFabHD for now?

P.S. Your not the Jimbo I knew a long time ago from Florida are you?

#1 a copying program causes the keys to be revoked #2 Yes you have to install the latest FW to get the keys back as it said in the post #3 thats up to you, I still have it on my computer myself because never can tell if I will ever need it to copy a movie, No sorry I'm not the Jimbo that you knew in Fla

"Revoked AACS encryption keys" now that is just another reason for me not to
want to buy HD-BD player's/burner's/Disc's if they are going to make it so I can't
back up my legally bought and paid for movies then they can just kiss my @$$

Can someone confirm that I'm understanding all this correctly:

It is no longer possible to rip BD at all?

Say it ain't so...

FWIW, I was able to rip HP Goblet of Fire just fine with AnyDVDHD, DVDFabHD ignored the disc.

It depends on the Drive you use, LG Drives DO NOT WORK WITH DVDFAB HD
there is a Problem with the Program, You can rip the BD and HDDVD with AnyDVD but FAB will just ignore the disk, No problem with Standard Dvd. I wish they would fix the problem but it seems maybe they don't think their is a problem?.

I agree, I think there is a problem as well. My LG GGW-H20L drives works perfectly playing BD movies and with Anydvd, but DVDFAB refuses to even recognize a BD movie. The DVDFab software seems to be the culprit. Everything else reads the BD movies perfectly.
