Maximum uses per day?

[XX14]

I'll tell you what bullcrap is,48 a day if you worked 12 hours a day, thats allowing 15 min each for a disc. I would call that a job not backing up for your own pleasure. So I suggest you deal with it.

I would call doing it while I do other things when I have the time off and am at home.

I believe the current 10 Blu-ray disc daily limit is more than enough for normal usage.

The only way I could see this being an issue is if you are a new user. Let's say you have 400 Blu-rays and you have just purchased the DVDFab software. It would not be unrealistic to want to spend the weekend backing up several Blu-rays until you are caught up. Even then with the limitation of only 10 a day you could just start out with your favorites first and then move on from there.

Just a suggestion but since DVDFab uses your account information to enforce this limitation maybe they could allow new users to do a larger daily quantity during the first 30 days to help them get up to speed with the initial backup of their collection. Another suggestion would be that maybe DVDFab could allow you to purchase additional credits that would allow you to do a larger daily quantity (could be another source of revenue). This doesn't affect me personally as I only deal with DVDs. I just thought I would throw a couple of ideas out there.

One thing for certain is that this should be stated somewhere (either on the purchase web page or in the license agreement, if it isn't already) since a person has the right to know this before making a purchase.

This is not fair at all why should i be limited to 10 per day because the company will not buy the extra bandwidth to handle the Cinavia modules something I could care less about but bought and one movie takes a gig or more to download.

This should be posted on the Home page where folks buy the program not doing so is deceptive like buying a car and the dealership forgets to tell you it will shut down after 50 miles of driving to save on carbon emissions please try again tomorrow.

All I see are excuses period and don't remove my post please I have a valid point I want what I paid for I can run two instances of fab on my pc ripping Blurays to a other Video format when I have the time and my time is Money.

If I want to do 100 a day to get through my purchased bulk lots I should be able too period this is just BS.

If dvdfab were to do a better job of protecting the program from hackers they would see their server bandwidth go down dramatically.

Some food for thought.

For gosh sake, 10 is plenty, this program is meant for a backup of an original, I cant see anyone ever buying 10 new movies a day to backup, this is absolutely fair. If someone didn't post it, I never would have ever realized it. I actually like it, it makes sure people are not abusing the program for personal profit and thereby giving the program a bad name. I think its absolutely fair.

I might be the exception, I'm a quadriplegic and have nothing to do but work with the computer. (Thank you Dragon) Me and Amazon to become great friends, and sometimes I tend to purchase quite a few of once. As of yet I have not run into the 10 disc limit, but I could see it happening with TV series and such.

I purposely key in the metadata when I can to slow me down, but if I wasn't doing this I could easily overrun the 10 disc limit.

Instead of imposing a daily limit, have you considered imposing like an hourly limit or something like that. This way of people accidentally overrun the 10 disc limit they know they can wait a period of time shorter than a full day and get done what they need to do.

I would ask everyone to be realistic about this and to add to the discussion if you can give an example of how the limit has actually inconvenienced you, not just because you don't like it; nobody likes it.

[XX14]

There is indeed a limit now (10 discs, applies only to BDs), designed to provide better service for all users. With all the decryption data for most BDs now being supplied by the servers, along with registration data and Cinavia Removal repair files (BD and DVD now as well) it was necessary to place a ceiling on daily use. Some users were doing 60+ discs per day! How can there be a legitimate reason for so many? I can't imagine, but I know that whatever the reason, such a load slowed down service for everyone, even crashing the servers on a few occasions. With the new limit, the product will start faster and will get the data it needs from the server faster, to the benefit of all.


While this may occasionally inconvenience a user such as yourself with the time to undertake such a big project in a day, the average user (1-5 discs per day) will see improved performance. I hope everyone can understand the reasoning.

Note also that:

• If you open the same disc more than once, it only counts as one use.

This is absurd ten bluray limit for customers that purchase the program.

Never in my life have I seen a limit put on a bluray program that you purchase like this and this should be displayed on the Fab purchase page in big letters.

Fab can purchase more server/ bandwidth space to handle what we have all purchased.

I was going to purchase the Fab media server today but after reading this thread I won't.

I think you know that is unrealistic. TV series seems to be the thing that has caused the only questions about this, the OP was doing the same thing. I'm afraid we must all put up with it at least for the time being, perhaps an improvement in the future. I understand your frustration, it was done to protect users just like you that use the product normally so that it would always be available.

Hi Flabber,
You do more than 10 different Blu-rays per day?

@Darkore
Not sure if that could be worked out but it would be a good idea.

Hi Signals,
For 320 days of the year I probably don't use DVDFab at all, for 40 days of the year I might do 1 Blu-ray, for the other 4 days I might do 2 or 3, today I was backing up a couple of TV series I just purchased. So no I don't don't do 10 blu-rays a day but the one day I do I get penalized.

Maybe if we are to be penalized for using more than 10 a day we should get credits for all the days we didn't use it.

As a suggestion, maybe you ought to allow people to use their FC's to purchase a higher maximum use per day.

It might help you get more people uploading meta info

[Flabber]

We appreciate your understanding, hope everyone can agree.

Sorry I don't agree, we paid what can only be said to be a high price tag for this software now to be told there is a limit to how many times we can use it.
I don't use of the Cinavia module so it should have no effect on me.
Fair enough if I was using it I can understand, but for just ripping a disk this is absurd and very annoying.

[signals]

Decryption for many discs is cloud-based now, the Cinavia Removal just makes it worse. And the limit applies only to Blu-ray, not DVD. I know you process many discs, which has benefited many users through your contributions to MetaInfo, and I hate for anything to slow that down. Perhaps this limit won't last forever.
