DVDFab Official/Beta release thread (post updates here)

Hi dialysis. Am i not using the guide correctly though? is there a more thorough guide available regarding fab and its functions? it'll do it w/the audio streams too and all i need is ac3/5.1. thnx.

 

After you remove the check from the last subtitle you want to remove, then double click in the window below it. That should remove all highlights. Hope that works it did on mine.

 

i'm gonna get to this now. i'll post back w/any ?'s orresults. thnx ferguj1.

 

I have a question... think it fits best here rather tha starting a topic about it.

I installed fab yesterday for somebody.. latest free version from the site..

Trying to run just fab it errors out and refuses to run. Soooooo.. platinum is a trial, we give that a go and it worked fine..

Decided to give fab another try more to note the error than anything and that also worked fine..

My question.. Is this normal behaviour? Should I be surprised if it happens next time I install and show somebody how to use it?

 

Hey Jan.
Strange indeed. I have Platinum on one PC and HD Decrypter on the other, and both worked fine last time i used them. (the new Hulk movie, i ripped with both just for poo-poos and hahas)

Did it give any kind of error, or maybe the task time bar just kept going up, or did it not even attempt it properly?
Sometimes enabling/disabling PathPlayer helps.

 

Just for the sake of numbers I will throw my reply in and agree with 7th and creaky. While I only run Platinum now, I never had any issue in the past when using HD Decrypter.

 

Clean first time install.. it's done it twice to me. the free will not start until you have run the platinum trial once.

Next xp machine comes in the house will try again and take a screenshot of the error. If I wasn't so tired I would put a clean hdd in my bsd machine and do a clean xp install just for this.. but it's friday and last time I slept was tuesday night

 

Same here. I had dvdfab HD and platinum till version 5 came out. I never had a problem with dvdfab at all. Right now, I have dvdfab platinum on both my desktop and my laptop.

 

See what I mean.. everybody has already had it installed and just updating or something.. I'm on about an error which happens the first time a machine has ever seen it.

I can't go installing payware on somebody elses machine.. that's a vista trick.

 

Same goes here, i have Platinum when it was 4.1.2.0 then updated to 5.X.

My Vista lappy had the trial version of Platinum (4.X) on it, which also got updated. So i've not installed version 5.X to any machine that was not an update.

 

Isn't there just a Fab Plat version now that's free and then after a time it reverts to DVDFab free version. Can you still get the Basic Fab version free to install? I rarely use it but have the Platinum Version.

 

yeah garmoon the free version is dvdfab decrypter

I did have HD Decrypter installed clean, at first, before I updated to the pay version. However, that was prior to it being bundled with the free trial of platinum, don't know if that has any affect on it.

 

When I got my new desktop a few months ago, I did a fresh install of dvdfab and later used my key to validate my platinum. That was almost 5 months ago. Didn't have any trouble at all with it.

 

I use to also like to have both the free and platinum version. That way I could play w/the dvd-9 copy w/shrink or w/e and burn w/imgburn. Pacman showed me in a post how to download both by changing the path name on one so the paid version won't write over the free fab. Tried it but didn't seem to either find it or get it to work. That's what I do w/the 4 version though. it's 4 so you could have both.

If any of you could find a way to get both on the same pc to be used separately let us know. It's good to have the free as a simple version.

 

@ZOSO

If you go to the link you provided, the download is DVDFAB 5100.exe (6.9mb). If you click on the DVDFAB Plat info button just above the free fab download it takes you to the download for DVDFAB Plat 5100.exe which is the exact DVDFAB 5100.exe file (6.9mb). I downloaded both to confirm and then deleted.

 

Yeah.. it's the bundled one which displays this behaviour.. you google the app and download from the site.. the obvious link which gets the bundled installer.. I suppose I should try downloading the one Garmoon linked to for next time.

I tend to do these installations on machines which don't have an internet connection in strange shops and houses from a collection of software installers I carry round with me to help the uneducated n00b xp and fista users.

As nobody can confirm or deny my problem specifically then it's not important. I will solve it myself
