Alex:
Thanx for the opportunity to give feedback, but I have an open trouble Ticket ID: WC1770433858T0049
1. What challenges or issues have you encountered?
I’m a longtime user of Cyberlink Power-Director(PD) software, on an old Win7 PC, but recently upgrade to Win-11 PC and wanted something new for Blu-ray creation/burning. I was immediately impressed with your company’s slick, efficient website, which gave me a feeling of confidence that you guys know what you’re doing on many levels. So I downloaded the trial 13.0.5.4 software of DVDFab on Jan 21st, 2026.
DVDFab Blu-ray Creator:
The first thing I need is a customizable menu to add my own background image, and my own mp3 song. Your software has that feature but it is buggy. I liked the simplicity of the interface and was ready to compromise because of the ‘SPEED’ of rendering, showing the CPU/GPU stats in real time, etc. Soon, I had used up the 3 free burns which successfully included a custom background image. I purchased both the Blu-ray Creator, and DVD-Creator software, which came to over $130.00 Canadian.
Cyberlink PD allowed me to save an edited/rendered video compilation to both ISO, and then Burn the disc(in one pass). In your software, I have to render the whole compilation twice because it’s one or the other. I discovered that I need to purchase DVD-Fab Copy- module to take my existing ISO file and Burn it to the Blu-ray disc. I used the free-trial of that but unfortunately, the Copy module burned the Blu-ray ‘without-my Customized Menu’!? The chapter settings worked, but with no menu, they are useless ‘coasters’. I tried it again, same result. BTW, I still have my old Nero Burning ROM software, on my old Win-7 PC, and that took the exact same ISO file, and burned it correctly(with my custom menu working). Ok, so I won’t buy the DVDFab’s Copy module.
I burned another few Blu-ray’s, playing with the different advanced settings. I was disappointed that the list of prebuilt menu templates didn’t include a theme for football or sports. Therefore, I’m almost 100% of the time going to use the custom background option. Next bug…if I save my custom template, and pick it in the next burn, it keeps the original stock image default background, no matter how many times I click on it?! I had some success at first, but I was still tweaking my source videos.
Then I encountered this bad symptom 3 times now…I put it into my Blu-ray player and nothing happens… just a black screen… doesn’t boot up to a menu, or play at all?! So, I start searching the DVDFab, Blu-ray Creator forum, and I’m having the same problem as the one titled… “Blu Ray Creator Discs not working in Blu Ray player IF editing Template”.
BTW, I’m using a brand new Blu-ray external player/burner from Buffalo(Model BRXL-16U3), and a brand new version of Nero Burning ROM 2026. I tried playing these 3 discs in both my Blu-ray players, from Sony and Panasonic, with the same bad result. So after reading that guys post, I waste one more blu-ray and just use one of the stock templates, with no sound-track, just to test it before creating this blog… it works but doesn’t have my Custom-template.
DVDFab DVD-Creator:
so far it’s always included the Menu, with a custom-image background. However, why can’t add a sound-track to the DVD-menu?
2. Which features would you like to see added or improved?
FIX the bugs and add these features…
a) Menu-creation expanded to allow both video Title-menus, and Chapter-submenus underneath.
b) Allow Chapter menus to be Named, and displayed in either text-only, or thumbnail.
c) Function for a ‘simulation’ of final menu/submenus to pretest button links works before rendering ISO or burning.
d) Allow ability to render compilation as ISO followed by burning the disc in same process.
Note: We don’t need DVDFab to become a bloated AI-product. We just need it to be the most rock solid, bug-free, trustworthy, disc-ripping tool.
