well, I have been using Fab Platinum Lifetime since Version 3 and I also regard it as the best software purchase that I have ever made.
That being said, I feel ther are some valid points being raised..
Fab has always used the VSO burning engine and we have always been told that that is a commercial decisiom. A far better solution is ImgBurn which is not fraught with problems and use nearly always recommended if a user has burning problems. I would have terminated this commercial arrangement ages ago. This is now hardly relevant to me as I never burn disks as I use media players exclusively.
Fab has always excelled at it's initial purpose which is to decrypt and remove copy protection from video disks and I would never use another product.
Where I feel that Fab falls down is in it's file conversion capabilities and I feel that this is partly caused by trying to be a "One Size Fits All" for all devices and it's capabilities are far behind most free software that targets 99% of the marketplace being IOS devices and MKV's (And everyone here must know by now how much I hate iCrap devices!!!). For gods sake get rid of all WMV output and say so. It's been a bugbear for many years and relies on encoders from my 2nd favourite company, Micro$oft.
Unfortunately, I will not use my registered Fab modules to do this as I obtain fare better results using free software that fills my needs.
Perhaps it is because I am also an experienced, demanding user who knows exactly what I want and Fab does not provide it.
Also the way that Fab is now bundled & modularised is quite confusing and sometimes not in the best interest of the user.
