DVDFab Common Settings...

[rggauld]

I was wondering if someone could help me...
I have recently had to uninstall and reinstall the latest version of DVDFab,
and of course, forgot to write down all the modified settings for the software.
I remember reading a post by someone (can't remember who) who had some great tips for modifying the common settings... Tips such as:

Setting PathPlayer to scan BOV's:
Setting the top slider to 480 seconds, and the bottom slider to 5...

He also had many other great tips which I have found to be very useful!

Any help in pointing me to this post would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance...
