Thanks for the heads up Dialysis.

I see they've added a couple of new options. Not sure i'd use the Move Fab option much, if at all. But the Blu Ray option may be worth it.

that link gives my AV program a warning for a virus or Trojan horse problem?

 

You must be getting a false positive. I just tried it with no problem.

 

yeah i'm sure the link is ok it just must be my program which is Trend Micro

 

Maybe some time today the home page will be updated.

 

yeah i will wait till then to be on the safe side of things. wonder how the blu-ray option will compare to slysoft. i would think slysoft would be ahead of the curve at this point

 

Just a little note for those who are interested in the Blu Ray option, but don't have a BR drive yet...might want to wait to update until you get a Blu Ray drive; otherwise you could miss out on the 30 day trial!

I'm going to wait a little bit until i get my new drive installed, then i'll update.

 

@dialysis1

Norton NIS didn't find anything there suspicious. I downloaded it and scanned it and it was clean. but since ZOSO had a problem I deleted the file anyway.

 

Don't install just yet.
It seems that the new options have a 1 day trial instead of 30 days. Hopefully within the next couple of hours this will be corrected.

 

Yeah, there seems to be a few little quirks with this release. Hopefully they are resolved quickly.

 

Could ZOSO's detections have been from the program's problems? Glad I didn't install. I use AnyDVD almost 100% anyway. One reason I shy from betas, especially if I'm not having issues with version I have.

 

Funny you mentioned Trend Micro as Spybot warns against Trend Micro and Mcaffee as potentially because of their practices as being some form of spyware.

I'll hold off on this update as well. No Blu-ray drive or player or HDTV yet. It's in the works.

I hope Fab don't start covoluding things up w/all these xtras and turn it into a Nero. In a way that's what I like about individual proggies. If something needs fixing then it'll just be that 1 thing.

AnyDVD I'll say is good for that as is any other 1 straight proggie.

 

I've used most the AV programs and have liked Trend Micro the best though the years. top notch program IMO

I just noticed the word Option next to the Blu-ray update. Is this going to be automatically included in the next Fab Platinum stable update, or is this going to have to be purchased separately to work w/Platinum like the Mobile Option is? Can someone please clarify this? Thnx.

Also since I purchased Platinum I haven't had to use the free DVD Fab HD Decrypter. Does the free version automatically have Hi-Def n Blu-ray support as it states on their site? Platinum's description has no mention of Hi-def/Blu-ray support which I have n haven't seen, so can someone please elaborate this also?

 

The update log states:

A price for either of these options hasn't been posted yet.

 

Thnx dialysis. I overlooked that. Now does the free hd decrypter already support hi-def n blu-ray as noted on Fab's site under free stuff?
