DVDFab Manual

General

 

Language:

You can select your desired language into which the program texts will be translated.
 

Output directory:

You can click the square button to choose the directory you want to save the log,ISO and temp files created by DVDFab.
 

Temporary directory:

DVDFab will rip the movie to the temp folder, then burn to blank disc. So please keep the free space the hard drive where temp folder is more than 10 GB. You can choose the directory of temp folder here. Normally, DVDFab will use 'My Documents' as default.
 

Move icon to system tray when minimized

Controls the behaviour of DVDFab when minimized.
 

Memorize user interface options

Allows DVDFab to remember all UI options selected. DVDFab will always remember the navigation pane (DVD Copy or DVD Ripper) and menu item (mode or device) last used as a convenience feature even without checking the box. To have DVDFab open with a mode or mobile device other than the one you are using, just select it before closing the program.
 

Add Auto-play handler (Optionally, start DVDFab when DVD inserted)

 

Create Files in subfolders of Output Directory

This feature creates a user option to write the output files to DVDFab's standard folder structure (check the box)
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\DVDFab\MainMovie\TWILIGHT_SAGA_NEW_MOON
or to write the files to the user specified location in the format (UNcheck the box):
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\DVDFab\TWILIGHT_SAGA_NEW_MOON
 
Ask before overwriting the same file;
Will cause a confirmation box to be displayed if the operation would cause you to overwrite an existing file of the same name.
 

Delete temporary files when done:

To remove temp files ripped after the backup finishes (see the TIP below as you consider this setting)
 

Check for new version automatically:

If you enable this setting - the program will check to see if there is a new version of the program. This will occur about once per week. The "Check Now" button will immediately check for version updates.
 

Check for on-the-fly decrypter automatically:

If you run other decrypter software with DVDFab, such as DVD43 or AnyDVD, DVDFab will ask you to disable them for more stable operation.
 

Disable Screensaver when Processing

This option can improve performance and prevent interruptions during the copy process.
 

Run report program when DVDFab crashes

Controls DVDFab error reporting. Although no personal information is required to be collected or sent with this report, unchecking this box will prevent DVDFab from accessing the internet to send the crash report to the program authors. These reports make DVDFab a better program for all users and make faster fixes possible. We strongly recommend you leave this box in the default (checked) condition.
 

Check for DMA automatically:

If your system is using PIO mode - DVDFab will find this when you start the program and ask you if you want to enable DMA for DVD drive and hard disk. If DVDFab finds PIO transfer mode is enabled, a window will pop up with a button allowing you to assert DMA mode for optical drives and hard discs.
 
Press the button 'Reset DMA' to perform this function at times other than startup, such as after copying a
dirty or scratched disc if read/write times become very slow. After this you should restart your PC to make
sure DMA mode is enabled.
 
The next time you start DVDFab this DMA enable window should not appear.
 
 

TIP


It can be handy to leave the temp files in place and use them if you plan to do a DVD conversion of the same title that you are backing up. Just remember to delete them when you've finished or your drive will fill up quickly.
