The latest DVD *Rippers* I've seen sold don't decrypt the disc at all, but re-record the playing video - many users don't know about DVDFab &/or don't notice the difference - so DVDFab has some competition that puts more effort into sales/marketing & less keeping up with the latest DVDs. Whether that works out & stays in DVDFab time will tell. Now if you use the latest free version, if/when it detects certain DVDs, a message tells you to wait for future versions or something like that, so it makes a difference whether you license the app or not - up till now there was no reason to ever pay if all you used was the decryption. It takes time & money to do that, & apparently there are now sites selling illegal versions of DVDFab, so they're experimenting with ways to sell more copies - a while back they had problems with new license-related code. Yet as the studios devise all sorts of ways to break their DVDs, fengtao keeps working constantly to release new versions to keep up with them. That in itself is fairly remarkable given that the big Hollywood studios now look at their DVD market as a nuisance, being far more concerned about DRM than whether the disc even plays - Disney apparently even strips menus, subs, & CC out of their special, rental DVDs (Up), & who knows what out of their retail versions. If you disregard the trolling comment, I think everyone who's tried it agrees that for decrypting discs, DVDFab generally works, period. My biggest problem is all the damn versions now. There really is no competition, so if you rip a lot and want to rip and convert in one step (time being $$ and all that), it may be worth it. When I first started using the software (v6) it was somewhat expensive ~$100, but it got rave reviews and was considered by many to be well worth the cost. Then I rip (compress) to a different folder on a 2nd drive using Handbrake. I suggest creating a folder like 'DVDFab-out'. Select your destination path using 'Save to'. If not, click the big icon/image just below '+ADD' and above 'Advanced Settings' (which is greyed out for me).

It should be selected by default.īelow 'Copy Mode' you should see 'Full Disk'. It isn't clear, but HD Decrypter is only available for the 'Copy' > 'Full Disk' function.

The product links are just links to the website.can't really blame them for trying to promote their product, can you? If you missed it like I did at first, click the X in top-right corner to close the splash and continue. In the current version (9_), the updated version, a splash screen shows everything that has been purchased or available for trial.
