too much memory

[homebase11]

Why does DVDFab 9 use so much memory to make a back up copy from a DVD to a rip for ipad. it takes up about 5GB. it looks like all latest releases seems to do the same thing. it also takes about two hrs to process. i know the DVDFAB 6, 7 and 8 don't do that, it would use about 1.3 GB. i would use those, but these are the latest DVDs and might not work with those programs. hope to hear from the DVDFAB team.


thank you

The amount of memory it uses only matters if your are multitasking, and this is a bad idea anyway during conversions. If you don't mind slower conversion speeds, you can reduce the memory usage in DVDFab Settings->Conversion and change the dropdown for "Amount of memery used" from Auto to Low or Medium.

Is the user referring to use of RAM or HDD space/File size?

I'm a bit unsure what the real question is.

I took it to be RAM ("memory"). ??

it uses more than 5 GB of HDD on my PC i can only can put two movies at a time with DVDFAB 9 on my ipad, when before i was able to put four or five movies at a time with DVDFAB 6, 7, and 8.

You can use the mp4.h264.aac profile and a smaller frame resolution (original rather than 1024Xxxx) and get the file size down. You might want to downmix the audio to stereo, it will default to 5.1. But it works a treat on my iPad.
