News Flash:
For reasons unknown to me, I am now able to copy a dvd to my harddrive using DVDFab Platinum. I was then able to watch the movie using WinDVD and, with the use of ImgBurn, I was able to backup my movie to a blank HP -R disc.
However, when I tried a DVD to DVD backup with DVDFab it made another lovely coaster for me. I’ve included the burn logs for both these sessions with this post.
At least I seem to have stumbled on to a work-around but I’d really like DVDFab Platinum to work properly before buying. If everything worked properly it would be worth the 50 bucks.
I BELIEVE THIS IS THE LOG FROM THE SESSION WHERE I WAS ABLE TO BACKUP A DVD ONTO MY HARDDRIVE:
