Doesn’t seem very impressive even for free sadly. I just use MPC-HC.

There are a lot of DVDFab users here . I thought some might want it for free.
It will probably be the most use to these wanting to play blu ray discs, ,iso’s , or folders.
I also have & use MPC-HC . MPC-HC won’t play files from my external hard drive & I need to test if DVDFab player will. VLC works for that.

Thanks cholla

It is coming along they still have some work to do on it, but I like it better than the Power DVD 12 that i have

Kerry56 2012-08-03 09:19:56 UTC #5

I hope its improved since my test of the first edition. It couldn’t play high action scenes straight from the disc at all. I may download it and see if they have fixed this issue.

Kerry56

Yes it is a lot better than it was, still have some issues ,but I think they are getting there

Kerry56 2012-08-03 09:32:37 UTC #7

I can’t register it. Says not logged in please check your email or password.

Kerry56 2012-08-03 09:40:59 UTC #8

And the program crashed while trying to input the registration.

bean55 2012-08-03 09:43:02 UTC #9

I noticed that myself, it must be the version that had issues with registering

I have a bought version at home on my computer there,it did register, I thought I would put this one on my computer here at work to play with.

Kerry56 2012-08-03 10:05:30 UTC #10

Is registration different from activation? I uninstalled, then reinstalled and this time I got a screen from GiveawayoftheDay saying that the program was activated. But starting the program up, I still get the message saying I have 30 days to register.

This thing is screwed up.

bean55 2012-08-03 10:15:22 UTC #11

Not sure lot me check mine

Same here Kerry56

Not sure what is going on

cholla 2012-08-03 10:29:45 UTC #12

Same for me on the registration except nothing crashed.
I’ve got several programs from giveawayoftheday & this is one of the few I’ve had a problem registering .
@ Kerry56 ,The activation screen & an opening of the giveawayoftheday web page is what happens on all their giveaways. So it shouldn’t have any effect on this one.
It’s just DVDFab doesn’t have their ducks in a row for the registration to accept the e-mail & password . Most of the time when this happens people complain on the giveaway site & it gets fixed . I will be posting a complaint there.

I should have tested it before posting it here at club.myce but since it is time limited I wanted to give as much time as possible .

Not sure they got the registration fixed even for the bought version.

Just checked and my bought version still does not have a check box next to it on the fab login site

cholla 2012-08-03 10:45:59 UTC #14

I will be testing to see if the registration starts working .
I just hate to post something like this & have it not register .
I prefer not to give forum members a PITA.

Overall I’ve gotten some very good software from giveaway & had few problems with installing & registering any that required that.

Thanks SJ I thought that was the version number, just was not sure

Kerry56 2012-08-03 10:54:28 UTC #17

^If you have AnyDVD HD running in the background, you don’t need updates for encryption. The basic player would be fine.

Unfortunately, it looks like the menu access will disappear in 30 days because of DVDFab’s complete incompetence in setting up a giveaway.

Yes while that may be true however there was good improvements after that release.

cholla 2012-08-03 11:07:27 UTC #19

@ SJ , That’s the way almost all the giveaway software is with that disclaimer.
However that is not always the case. Many authors/publishers will give some support if asked. Of course some don’t but it never hurts to try.
About a year or so ago they gaveaway a year subscription to DVDFab copy .
It updated for that trial period.

IMO it’s bad advertising to giveaway a bad version.
It doesn’t have to be the latest but it should work well .

I agree Cholla. They give these versions away to stir up interest in their products. By completely fubaring the giveaway, they are giving themselves a black eye here. And that is not something they can afford to do.
