    DVD Fab and Windows 7 (64-bit) -- play nice?

    I have been running DVD Fab for years on an old single core P4 Dell running Windows XP. I use DVD Copy and BD Copy to simply make full-disk folder rips for storage on my media server. I don't use any other modules; I don't recode to smaller size; I don't even make .iso files from within DVD Fab. I just do full-disk folder rips and for this task DVD Fab has always run without issue on this hardware/OS configuration.

    I have just upgraded my main system to new Dell with i7 quad core and Win-7 (64-bit). I'm now faced with having to decide whether to migrate DVD Fab over to the new machine or just leave things as they are and continue to use DVD Fab on the old machine for all my ripping. I would like to migrate to the new machine for the increased speed but not if there are going to be issues.

    So I ask the question, how does DVD Fab 8.1.2.6 get along with Win-7 (64-bit). For the simple tasks of full-disk folder ripping of DVD and BD, can I expect the same trouble-free performance I've been getting with Win-XP?

    thanks in advance

    It's always played nice for Vi$ta Ultimate 64 bit so i would think so.

      There's no reason to "migrate" as you can run Fab on both pc's according to Fab's EULA.
      Many of us do this.
      I have Fab installed on my old XP Pro rig and on my win7 64-bit rig...same license...no problems.

      Go ahead an do a new install on your win7 rig.
      You can D/L your license from Fab's homepage...member site...and then activate the app
      And yes, it "plays nice" in the win7 64-bit environment

      Just be certain that you don't run Fab simulataneously on both pc's while both pcs are connected to the internt.
      In this instance you would run the risk of having your license blacklisted.

          Just to follow up. I installed Fab 8.1.2.6 on my new Win-7 (64-bit) Dell shortly after maineman's post. I've since ripped 6-7 disks (DVD and BD, full-disk folder rips) and everything has worked perfectly. I am certainly enjoying the speed of a new machine.

          Case closed.
