It all depends on what movie and the setting you are using, an hour seems fine.

Hi All,

Installed HDDecrypter 4.0.2.5 and I am having problem with backing up HD DVD movies to HDD -- recently installed LG GGC-H20 dual format drive so I am not sure if it's software or hardware related problem.

When HD DVD disk is inserted (Face Off), DVDFab HD tries to read it (window pops up) , when window closes the 'Source' drop down is not populated with HD DVD disk, it remains 'Please insert DVD disk...'

Not sure what is causing the problem, I am pretty sure that HD DVD Drive is working fine since I can see contents of HD DVD disk with Windows Explorer. Also I can back up regular DVDs with no problem.

Can somebody please help !!! TIA

Thanks, Davie.

I tried to clone a data dvd with verification on. After the verification completed the dvd ejected and restarted and verification started again!

Ok I have discovered a serious flaw with image burns. After burning an image I am not able to delete the image until I completely close DVDFab. DVDFab will not release the lock on the image file at all even after selecting another image. This needs serious fixing it's a pain to have to keep closing DVDFab every single time I burn an image just so that I can delete the image.

No I mean when I am burning an image file.. Any type of image file .iso, .img, ect when I burn direct from an image file I am not able to delete the image file until I close DVDFab and my Unlocker software reports it being locked by DVDFab and even the Unlocker can not unlock the file.. DVDFab refuses to relinquish control of that image until I close it. And I WOULD NEVER use software to delete image after burn because I never trust a burn until I have tested it properly in a DVD Player so this is an unsafe option.. I burn one image.. finish it.. start a second image burn.. and test the first DVD while it's writing.. but I am not able to do this.. I have to burn an image.. close dvdfab.. than open dvdfab.. than start burning second image.. what a pain.

I don't think you can delete any file while its in use. Only when you close the file or program can it be deleted.

molitar is suggesting the handle be released once the drive reports back that it is finished burning.

Hi Molitar. Are you using Write Data mode and VSO engine? Do you have Verify turned on? What about Eject disc when Done? Does this happen with DL and SL? (I had a similar problem, but only with DLs).

Engine: VSO
Write: SAO
Verify: Checked
Eject Disc: Yes
Happens with any image I burn. Does not happen when burning a DVD Folder I can delete that folder just fine but all images remain locked until I close DVDFab.

I don't have the program, but is there an option for DAO burning? This might assist in closing the track, session and in finalising the burn; ultimately leading to the handle being released.

Nope only SAO and Packet Writing Strategy. Not sure why no DAO but I am sure their must be a reason by Fengtao since all the other software like Nero and that has DAO.

What does DVD Shrink have to do with DVDFAB?
Does DVDFab use it?
I did a burn with an early 4.x version and compression was only about 10% bit the video was not as good as 3.x versions. I am asking because I alwasys had DVDShrink on my machine with 3.0 version, but not now with the 4.0 version.

Some people use DVDFab Decrypter to rip a disc and then DVD Shrink to shrink it from DVD-9 to DVD-5. The users of the freeware version of DVDFab are required to use such a third-party program if they wish to do this. Depending on what disc you are backing up the compression necessary will vastly fluctuate.

Somewhere along the way an issue cropped up where the output from DVDFab wasn't agreeing with DVD Shrink. It has since been resolved and not returned as far as I am aware.

Try turning off Verify. When the feature was first added, a few users reported problems with it enabled, especially with USB burners. Happy Holidays!

Question.. Why would Pathplayer disable itself when I have it set to always be enabled?

Code:
Disc type: Video DVD
Disc region: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Volume name: RUMIKOTAKV1
Video standard: NTSC
Layer 0 size: 2246402 sectors (4387 MBytes)

CSS (Content Scramble System) protection is not found.
RC (Region Code) protection is not found.
RCE (Region Code Enhancement) protection is not found.
APS (Analog Protection System) protection is not found.
UOPs (User Operation Prohobitions) protection is removed!

Invalid PGCs protection is not found.
Invalid CELLs protection is not found.
Invalid VOBUs protection is not found.
Fake vts protection is not found!
Bad sector protection is not found!
Structure protection (ARccOS, RipGuard, etc.) is not found.

PathPlayer is disabled.
It is preventing me from using any of the navigation modifications since it is being disabled even tho I have it set to always enabled.

I think too that DVD Shrink is a good program to tell if the ripped DVD copied OK structurally? I.e. no Shrink errors then the rip was good?

"What does DVD Shrink have to do with DVDFAB?"

Short answer is nothing. Long answer is given above already except for this. DVD Shrink is no longer supported. If I remember correctly its author went to work for Nero and DVD Shrink became Nero Recode. Not 100 percent sure there. So what those who are using it end up asking of DVD Fab is for DVD Fab to conform to an un-updated piece of compression software.

DVD Fab non-free versions will on their own compress a DVD9 to DVD5. I have used DVD Fab's internal compression writing features and they work just fine.

So while not all of the folks who are using stuff like DVD Shrink to avoid paying for software, some are.

Personally, I never use DVD Shrink. I do, however, recognize the long-standing support and enthusiasm that people hold for the product regardless of the fact that it's basically dead in the water and will never receive any updates.

Generally speaking, yes, if DVD Shrink doesn't have an issue with output from a ripper than it is considered pretty strictly compliant. It works as a decent layman's litmus test.

My purpose in this reply is not to be argumentative. Transcoding quality is pretty subjective when listening to people talk about it. Debating that issue is absolutely pointless and isn't my purpose in replying.

There are likely a good amount of DVDFab Gold/Platinum users who prefer to use DVD Shrink. You noted that not all people use DVD Shrink to avoid paying for software but the program is a tried and true accepted very good piece of software so can you fault anyone for using it? On top of being good it's free! There's an enormous bonus and doesn't make people cheapskates for using it. I know quite a few users of it, myself.

DVD Shrink isn't my cup of tea but it doesn't make it a bad choice and if the only problem with continuing to use it is that the output from any particular ripper must be compliant then I don't see that as being a major problem. DVD Shrink just happens to be pretty strict.

I'm just happy to see DVDFab offer a frequently updated freeware solution and its limitations are completely understandable considering it's free. It also acts as an advertising tool which can lead to more sales. That's not bad, either. In the end, everyone makes out.

Happy Holidays.
