Saw that a new version of DVDfab was available 8.1.3.6 so I installed it and tried again. Still unable to convert 300 (only movie attempted so far) from a single .vob file to .mp4 for PS3 (1920x816 resolution, everything else default). I tried with CUDA and DXVA decoding selected (only two options for my GPU) and Softward+CUDA for encoding, it stalled out at around 0.9% for both. When I tried with "Disable all GPU Codecs..." checked it stalled out around 1.8% and the FabCore process stopped again like last time. I'm trying again, doing the conversion directly from the DVD and will let you know how that goes.
You mentioned a while back that you found the problem, but nothing since. Was it supposed to be fixed in this latest version?
Here's the log.
