DVD decrypter vs. DVDfab
I've been busy for quite some time and recently came back to the forums to find some new developments. Now it seems that DVDfab has been replacing the previous decrypter as the primary ripping device (it seems because the previous one has become licensed now). I was wondering if there's a major difference between the two. I mean, besides the fact that DVDfab is still free and doesn't seem to have as much trouble with certain DVDs (from what I've read on other posts, anyway). Does anyone know if there's a difference in the quality of the footage or maybe the file size of the ripped videos? I was just curious if it's worth it to download the new program right now.

Ripping has nothing to do with either of these. Ripping simply decrypts and places the files on your harddrive.

DVD Decrypter wasn't licensed, it was killed under threat of litigation by Macrovision. And anyone selling copies of it is clearly in the wrong.AngelOfTheDark wrote:(it seems because the previous one has become licensed now).
The burning engine from DVD Decrypter has continued on as a separate application (ImgBurn), though.

Oh, I don't know about that. Before I knew about DVD decrypter (or this site), I actually purchased a ripper. (IMToo, I think? Waste of money, as it turned out.) The quality wasn't nearly as good as the free software and depending on what settings you had it on, the file size could differ drastically. Of course, it was a bit different. It automatically converted the vobs to another type of file. (wma, mpg, etc. again, depending on the setting) So, I guess it was a ripper/converter instead of just a ripper...

Exactly why the program s/he purchased likely was a converter too and not just a plain and simple ripper.Kionon wrote:Ripping has nothing to do with file type or file size. Conversion is something else entirely.AngelOfTheDark wrote:So, I guess it was a ripper/converter instead of just a ripper...
