Hi, first thing is, thank you for responding and i'm hoping you can help me. I just purchased dvd fab 2 weeks ago & I have the most updated version. I was trying to copy the movie over onto my pc & then I would use teh fab ripper to modify it. The firmware version is 1.2 which is what dvd fab applied to it. If I can ask you one question, eveeytime i reboot after fab applied the downgraded firmware, if I go back to that screen to check the firmware dvd fab will tell me to download the downgraded firmware again. Also the drube does blueray fine & from what i.am reading the best fastest firmware is 1.0. Currently with this firmware version, the copy megabit rate is a half a meg.
