[QUOTE=90312;194841]Also go into common settings/conversion/output and backspace over everything except "" and click OK to get only the file name.[/QUOTE]
Like I said, I tried that but it never changes. From "common settings => conversion => output", I tried "" and my file was not named correctly. When I went back to "common settings => conversion => output", it showed "." again. I even tried making it blank but it still reverted to "<volume>.<title>" again.
<br>
<br>I don't get it ... DVDFab has all the metadata, why can't I use variables for "movieTitle (releaseYear)"?</p>

<br>I found out that, somehow, DVDFab was in Copy mode instead of Ripper mode. So, in the end ... USER ERROR!
<br>
<br>Is there a way to have DVDFab default to Ripper at startup or when a disc is inserted?</p>

<br>
<br>Well, I found the little Gremlin, DVDfab!
<br>
<br>I can set things properly in common settings and all works well ... until ... I restart DVDfab (or my PC) and certain settings go back to what they were before.
<br>
<br>As you may remember, I need "CommonSettings=>Conversion=>Output" to be set to "BluRay Source" or "DVD Source" depending on the disc. I'm guessing DVDfab is NOT saving that setting because it wants me to tell it what kind of disc I put in each time.
<br>
<br>Page 57 of the user manual sheds no additional clarity on this option or what the choices mean. The manual says:
<br>
<br><blockquote><p>8.6.2 Output
<br>Define how to name the output file, based on DVD Source, Blu-ray Source or File Source and how to
<br>manipulate keywords.</p></blockquote>
<br>
<br>Here is what could be fixed in an upcoming release:
<br>
<br>1. DVDfab should only allow two choices here, "DiscSource" and "FileSource". DVDfab is smart enough to know whether or not the disc is a blu-ray or a dvd.
<br>
<br>2. DVDfab should save that choice
<br>
<br>3. DVDfab should lookup metadata based on the VOLUME-ID and allow metadata tags to be used to generate the filename (ex; "<movieTitle> (<releaseYear>).mp4", etc...).
<br>
<br>4. DVDfab user manual should give more details as to what all this means and show some examples based on keywords.</p>

<p>As a follow up is there a way to prevent DVD fab from writing the filename to the File Properties Details, Description tab? I rename my files thru batch but it appears some apps are using file properties details meta data and not file name for titles in their apps now.</p>
