![]() ![]() So, I recommend to use DVD Decrypter for unprotected DVDs, and DVDFab when it fails. DVDFab will try to copy it anyway, and if the DVD has been damaged, you will end up with a bad copy, without being clearly informed of the problem. I still prefer the good old DVD Decrypter (no longer developed, and not related to DVDFab), as it fails with an error message when it cannot read a sector of the disc that is not supposed to be a protected sector, as it should. If you cannot rip a new DVD with this GOTD, use the free DVDFab HD Decrypter, that is supposed to be updated constantly: However, since the GOTD license is valid only for the current version, it might become obsolete very soon. ), and it is usually updated as soon as a new variant of the protection is produced. It is indistingushable from playing the original DVD in every aspect.DVDFab is well known as it's one of the few DVD copiers that can copy almost all DVDs, including the DVDs protected by the new forms of copy protections (Sony's ARccOS, Macrovision's RipGuard. From there you can access everything which the original DVD has. Once you do that, double clicking the folder with the dvdmedia extension will open the default player (iDVD or VLC whichever is the one you designated as the default DVD player) and you will be greeted with the top menu of the DVD. In other words the original folder "MoveName" looks like "MovieName.dvdmedia" after the renaming. Doing so preserves not only the subtitles but the entire opening menu as well as all the special features.Īfter the DVD is copied to the hard drive by the DVDFab Decrypter, I change the extension of the main folder containing the VIDEO_TS sub folder to ".dvdmedia". I prefer to use DVDFab Decrypter because it preserves the entire file structure of the original DVD. ![]() Lately, I received a newsletter from DVDFab saying that their website "" was blocked by some third party organisations in the states and as a result they switched their website to "DVDFab HD Decrypter for Mac is still free and available from this site. Upon switching to Mac back in 2006, I downloaded the Mac version and it works just fine. I bought DVDFab nearly 10 years ago, when I was using Windows in those days, and I have been using it ever since. It makes it very nice for browsing, not to mention that if the original DVD gets damaged it's a one step process to re-burn the movie since the file set is right there. The box also downloads all the album art and descriptions of the movies that way. It gives me all the options of the original DVD (I'm hearing impaired, and rely need the subs). There are many out there that will rip to a single file, but that's not what I want. So, can someone here recommend an application that will do the trick. I've tried a bunch of CRAP and nothing I've found works even 1/10th as good as my standard. ![]() I'm still using an older version and it works for now, but I'd like to move to something else that is still supported, and produces the DVD file structure with everything in tact. DVDFab (now BluFab) has discontinued the Decryption function with it's latest update. I've been using DVDFabHD Decrypter to rip to DVD9, and then I use DVD2ONE to compress and preserve the Audio/Subtitles that I want. I want to do the remaining (about 6 TB) in the same format. I've already converted about 2 TB this way and it's perfect for me. I have found that ripping my original commercial movies to DVD5 file set works best for me all around on this box. I recently purchased a WDTVLive! and really love this thing. I have about 2,000 DVD's in my collection. ![]()
