DVDFab / DVD Region+CSS Free Discuss, Try DVD Fab (Platinum, Gold) free! at Movie copy software forum; Blaze Media Pro will convert PAL-NTSC or Vice-Versa, but it does take a long time. This is the first program I have found that will do this successfully. I converted a few PAL .Avi's I had saved to NTSC and can finally watch them on my Region1 DVD Player.

I have tried both 3.1.3.2 and 3.1.3.3 beta free trial software versions in hopes of being able to buy them. But these versions have all resulted in hanging my computer and dvd burner (new pioneer). The HD Decryptpr version 3.1.2.8 is the only version that I have no problems with. I even treied using the trial software and then buring with Nero instead of DVDFAB Platinum burner, still hangs.
I would like to buy, but as I cannot get all Platinum fuctions working I wont be able to. ANYONE ELSE HAVE THE SAME ISSUES?

I have tried DVDFAB decrypter 3.1.3.2 and 3.1.4.0. both caused problems. I normally play off my hdd to check before I burn to dvd 3.1.3.2 froze after 5 minutes play 3.1.4.0 would not work at all 3.1.2.8 works fine. Downloaded DVDFAB Platinum 3.1.4.0 trial version burned two dvds and got unknown disc structure tried it again as movie only with same results. I have removed DVDFAB Platinum 3.1.4.0 including the prefetch and vso and gone back to using DVDFAB Decrypter 3.1.2.8 I am assuming there is a problem with the decryption on last two versions.

I am not sure that would be any benefit, but he may add it later. I use TY-R 4X discs at 4X and time difference is very small when compared to faster speeds. If speed is not selected FAB will determine the best speed for the quality of media used. Some media will burn beyond its rated speed, while others will make coasters.

I use 16X TY-R discs but because of an inherent idiosyncracy with NEC DVD writers I get PIF spikes with either 12X or 16X burns so I burn at 8X for quality.

Have you ever tried scanning discs burnt at different speeds for quality?

Sometimes the results are surprising depending on the drive and you might find that burning at 8X, 12X or 16X produces better scans despite the faster speeds and despite what the drive's write strategies suggest.

Like other software Fab presumably uses the drive's write strategies to determine the speed but that's not necessarily the ideal burn speed for quality.

Have a go with some faster discs and you might be pleasantly surprised.

More coasters are made when you try to burn to fast, the best that I have found is to burn at 1/2 the rated speed of the media or so

I depends on the drive and the firmware.

I've seen scans before where burning at lower speeds produces poorer results but that tends to be with fast discs 16X+.

Quite frequently faster discs can be burnt at say 8X or 12X without any loss of quality compared to 4X discs burnt at their maximum speed.

16X and 18X are still problematic and not recommended for quality.

It's a good exercise to study disc scans if only from the point of view of finding which discs best suit your specific writer.

I'd recommend the drive specific forums here to anyone that's interested.

LightningUK! also has extensive tests with popular writers stored at his ImgBurn forum.

Hi, This is a question that might have been asked before, but trying the Fab Platinum and its great, but I have some DVD's that are other Regions, and while I have an all region player upstairs, the player connected to my big screen TV will play just Region 1. I made backups but they will not play there either. Is there a way to back up your disk and change the Region to 1 or all? Thanks.

DVDShrink does allow user control of the region coding of the output but will have problems copying some discs with new copy protection schemes (Shrink is no longer updated). The problem you are having with out-of R1 discs on the downstairs player may be a PAL/NTSC video problem.

How the heck do I get it to stop splitting my movies into 1 GB VOB files. I want one big file!

Is this a setting?

Quote and reply

signals (CDFreaks Resident): Posts: 5,684; Posted: 05-05-2008

The 1GB chunks are part of the DVD specification. If you want one huge VOB you can use the VOB Passthrough option in DVD to Mobile. It used to be in Generic, not sure about the new versions. You can install it as a device so that it appears in the DVD to Mobile navigation pane using CustomizeUI->DVD to Mobile. There will be no menus, and your hard disc will need to use the NTFS file system to get big (>4GB) VOBs from long movies. There is some information about this in the Tutorial (click on the red "Official Guide" link in my sig).
