DVDFab vs. DVDFab Blu-Ray vs. Passkey

[RhoXS]

For years I used DVDFab. Today I went to the DVDFab.com site to buy an updated version of it. I was expecting to simply find an updated version that is now also capable of also handling Blu-ray disks. What I did find was a number of products with no clear and concise description of what each does and how they compare.

Am I correct to assume that DVDFab Blu-Ray will not also handle standard DVD movies so I must also have DVDFab?

Is Passkey needed with DVDFab Blu-Ray? Both DVDFab Blu-Ray and Passkey state that they will remove all known copy protections yet the description of Passkey also implies it is needed with DVDFab Blu-Ray. How come?

I would appreciate some help understanding what these products specifically do, can't do, and how they overlap.

What I am looking for is something identical to the DVDFab I have used for a few years now that can also handle Blu-Ray disks. Does this product exist?

Correct, DVD Copy will handle only standard dvds whereas Blu-ray Copy will handle only BD discs.

No, it is not needed. Passkey is an on-the-fly decrypting tool.
In order to rip or burn, it must be used in conjunction with another application capable of ripping and/or burning.
Think of Passkey as an updated version of the old, defunct, DVD Region+CSS Free

Best to read over the product descriptions, experiment with various modules which interest you and refer to the respective tutorials and manual as questions arise.
Post back as necessary with questions/issues that need further clarification.

All modules are available as 30-day trials and are independent of one another.
As you start using various modules, I suspect you'll have a much clearer understanding of the function and capability of each module.

You'll need both DVD Copy and Blu-ray Copy

Thanks for the quick response. You response is certainly helpful.

I am used to using DVDFab that did everything in a single application. Although I do not seem to have a choice, I am dissappointed that DVDFab was not just updated to also handle Blu-ray disks. I have not yet made a decision on what I intend to do but I certainly have to consider the large combined cost of both applications that are now required.

Development costs money. Don't overlook the package deals and other discounts on the website.
