It should be selected by default.īelow "Copy Mode" you should see "Full Disk".
If not, click the big icon/image just below "+ADD" and above "Advanced Settings" (which is greyed out for me). Select your destination path using "Save to". I suggest creating a folder like "DVDFab-out". Then I rip (compress) to a different folder on a 2nd drive using Handbrake. When I first started using the software (v6) it was somewhat expensive ~$100, but it got rave reviews and was considered by many to be well worth the cost. There really is no competition, so if you rip a lot and want to rip and convert in one step (time being $$ and all that), it may be worth it. My biggest problem is all the damn versions now. If you disregard the trolling comment, I think everyone who's tried it agrees that for decrypting discs, DVDFab generally works, period. That in itself is fairly remarkable given that the big Hollywood studios now look at their DVD market as a nuisance, being far more concerned about DRM than whether the disc even plays - Disney apparently even strips menus, subs, & CC out of their special, rental DVDs (Up), & who knows what out of their retail versions. Yet as the studios devise all sorts of ways to break their DVDs, fengtao keeps working constantly to release new versions to keep up with them. It takes time & money to do that, & apparently there are now sites selling illegal versions of DVDFab, so they're experimenting with ways to sell more copies - a while back they had problems with new license-related code. Now if you use the latest free version, if/when it detects certain DVDs, a message tells you to wait for future versions or something like that, so it makes a difference whether you license the app or not - up till now there was no reason to ever pay if all you used was the decryption. Whether that works out & stays in DVDFab time will tell. The latest DVD *Rippers* I've seen sold don't decrypt the disc at all, but re-record the playing video - many users don't know about DVDFab &/or don't notice the difference - so DVDFab has some competition that puts more effort into sales/marketing & less keeping up with the latest DVDs. Users who feel they *have* to buy something, may choose something else besides DVDFab. Beyond decrypting discs, DVDFab also has quite a few conversion features - whether or not you feel it's worth it, there are conversion-only apps selling for more. There is free software to do most any conversion (sometimes better), but the free stuff can also be harder to use, &/or not play nice with other apps you have installed.
One thing DVDFab could use is a good manual &/or help file - another is even a part-time DVDFab-staffed support forum, since user &/or fan mods are often knowledgeable & accurate, but seldom customer service trained or oriented, & this is something DVDFab's competition is working on.
