aaa... I originally had this trouble after updating to 8Qt (From I think 8. The exact version I cannot remember.). I downgraded to get it working, and skipped the next 2 updates. I tried them both, and after struggling through suggestions from this forum, went back to the old version. The problem was the exact one I experienced with the latest version. After upgrading again to back up a current movie I had just purchased, (I cannot remember that exact version either.) it suddenly started working. WOO-HOO! Most of the movies I purchased until then were from the sale bins. The older version of DVDFAB worked fine on the older DVDs, so no worries. The newer version continued to work until I upgraded to the latest version, from the one just before that. Both the latest version, and the ones I had the problems with will not even rip older movies. In those versions, the time left would read zero, and DVDFAB would either stop, or acted like it was still ripping at a very low speed. Letting the process to run for 24 hours or more did not help. Others had this problem, and the staff could not seem to duplicate it.
I hope this helps,
Thanks
