DVDFab Review-Rip and Copy DVDs in Windows 10 Easily

1

• If you love a movie or a TV Series, the
  best thing you can do is buy a digital copy and
  keep it with you forever. If you are a fan of
  movies, you must know the pleasure of keeping DVD
  prints of some of the classics like The Shawshank
  Redemption, The Godfather, Star Wars and much
  more. This way you support the industry and at
  the same time give yourself a proud feeling of
  having the original material.
• The downside? These disks dont last
  forever. No matter how careful you are, one
  scratch is enough to make the disk unreadable and
  there is no coming back from such situations.
  Additionally, copying the entire disk will work,
  but it will give you different VOB files in the
  folder which will be broken into different parts.
  These files might work on the desktop, but are
  not supported by smartphones and other portable
  devices.

• That said, one would need a DVD ripper to convert
  these files into video formats that are
  universally accepted. There are a few free
  rippers available, but most of them dont give
  you the kind of flexibility needed one might need
  while converting the DVDs. If you really love to
  keep your movies and shows forever, might want to
  give DVDFab DVD Ripper a shot.
• I will also be talking about the DVD Copy tool
  from the same developers at Fengtao Software,
  which lets you create digital copies of the DVD
  taking care of all the security encryption.
• The DVDFab DVD Ripper
• DVDFab DVD Ripper was recently updated to support
  Windows 10 and works on H.265 and 4K videos and
  gives options to directly convert for iPhone 6
  and iPhone 6 Plus device. I will be reviewing the
  DVDFab Version 9.2.1.0 in the article. At the
  first look, the user interface is
  self-explanatory and one wont feel lost even if
  he is a rookie when it comes to ripping DVDs.

• The ripper page automatically detects the disk
  when you insert it. Alternatively, you can add an
  ISO file or a folder where you have copied the
  contents of the DVD. On the left, you will have
  MP4 selected as the video output and thats the
  default output to which the ripper is set to.
  When you click on it, you will be given various
  formats to which you can save the output media.
  As I already mentioned, you also have the
  MKV.H265 format support along with the usual
  formats.

• If you are planning to watch the videos on a
  particular device, you might find a ready-made
  template in the device section. Selecting a
  format as favorite will add it to thePersonal
  Tab making it easier to select the desired file
  format in the future.
• DVDFab provides the option to edit the video
  before it starts converting it. One can trim the
  movie, crop the frame, add watermark and
  even hard code subtitles. I personally feel that
  hard coding subtitles is an amazing option
  especially when you are playing the video on
  devices which dont support .srt files.

5

• Once you are done editing the video, the last
  thing you can configure is the Advanced Settings.
  If you have chosen a specific device type output,
  that wont be necessary. But lets say that if
  you have selected MKV or an MP4 file type, the
  frame rate, the video size and other aspects can
  be controlled. This will make sure that the final
  video is in the desired format and size. However,
  if you are not sure, you can leave that to
  default.

• The last thing that needs to be taken care of
  before hitting the start button is the save
  location. Once thats in place, hit the Start
  button and wait for the DVDFab to work its magic.

7

• The process is significantly faster when compared
  to other Rippers. For me, a DVD5 of around 4.4 GB
  took around 9 mins to convert to an iPhone 5S
  supported video. The two points worth mentioning
  here is the time left shown on the conversion
  screen and the option to pause and resume the
  conversion. Whats more, DVDFab automatically
  transferred the video to my iTunes library.

8

• When I watched the video on my phone after
  conversion and transfer, I was more than
  satisfied with the output. The hard coded
  subtitles was the icing on the cake.
• The DVDFab DVD Copy
• DVDFab DVD Copy lets you create copies of the
  disks in a fairly easy way. After you insert the
  disk, you have 6 options to choose from which are
  Full Disc, Main Movie, Customize, Split, Merge,
  Clone and Burn. Its a plug and play app and
  theres nothing more to say about it.

• What does it Cost?
• 1 year license of both, DVDFab DVD Copy and
  DVDFab DVD Ripper costs 49 and the prices reduce
  if you buy an extended license. You can buy them
  from their orders page.

• My Thoughts on DVDFab
• Talking about the price of DVD Ripper and Copier,
  is approximately the price for one or two titles
  you bought on DVDs. But what makes it worth it is
  the simple interface that it offers to the user.
  One doesnt need to be an expert to use the tool
  and can easily get the job done.
• Also, there are options for advanced users to
  edit the movies, include subtitles and then rip
  them in the specific formats. Moreover, the
  product supports Windows 10 and the only thing
  that was out of the line was the amount of
  resource the app takes while working on the DVDs.
  But I guess thats necessary to decode and encode
  the movies.
• You can always try the trial version before
  investing in the full version.
