Your post has been deleted, as it serves no help to Holoperson.

@ glenns
You are 100% right, as no two computers are the same, even if they are identical builds purchased from two different consumers, they will install different anti virus, programs, updates etc....
I always keep my computer clean of junk with CCleaner, registry cleaned, defragmented on a regular basis all updates from Microsoft and all other updates like drivers for my hardware, C++, Java, Adobe etc...
I feel that people need to learn how to clean their computer so that it runs at 100% efficiency.
I'm not saying that Holoperson does not do this, I'm just saying in general...

Earthdog:Their are 32,205 members of this forum and that doesn't count the amount of worldwide customers this Fab program has sold software to.For the most part compression works fine most of the time for most people.Here we are talking about a compression problem that a handful people are having.This will get solved.Sometimes it takes longer because of all the different combination of possible things that can go wrong.

What you must understand is everyone is running different systems,different computers and many combinations of security software some that effect other programs in strange ways and ever changing security measures on dvds of all types that change all the time so fab is a ever changing program to keep up with these changes.This is a world wide program many things must be considered when making changes to the software so it will work in many different country's with many different computers around the world.

Their are changes to windows and each version of it with the newest version of windows having the most bugs and growing pains.Just look at each version of windows and the bugs each version has or had.Don't forget that your video card drivers are updated all the time theirs many different cards with different software so they may change something to make a card work better with a game and make something not work in Fab.When you take all this to mind it's a wonder the software works as well as it does worldwide.

Show me a working version of windows from the first version to the newest that has no bugs.If Fab didn't compress as it says it does it wouldn't have as many worldwide customers as it does and word of mouth would get around fast and the company would be out of business fast.Fab has been around for many years so they must be doing something right.

Fab started out totally free and for many years millions of people worldwide used the free program to decode regular dvd's free and they still provide this basic service free and the rest of the programs are free to use for 30 days so you can try them before you buy.I am not a employee of this company just like you a customer.

Try running Fab as administrator it solved some issues some were having in Windows 8, if it persists run in comparability mode for Windows 7.Also if you have bit defender internet security 13 seems to have problems with the Fab program.

I am running Windows 7 64 bit, and I use Outpost Security Suite Pro,
I have tried running DVDFab as a administrator, and have exited out of Outpost, so Outpost is not running and still same results, of the encoding / compressing stalling

OK, Here is v9.0.2.7

Customized Copy
with the PCM audio unselected
from the Original Disc

BD50 > BD25
Disable all GPU codecs - Checked
Enable Lightning-Recoding - Not Checked

encoding / compressing stalls at 96.17%

Hi Holoperson
Did you use a ISO or the original disc and did you choose a different audio stream other that the PCM one.

Hi CBR929,
This last attempt I posted the log for with v9.0.2.7 was from the DVDFab created Full Disc BD50 iso on the hard drive with just the full disc option...
a few posts back you will see attempts made with v9.0.2.6 and v8.2.2.7 where we even tried just main movie and unselected the PCM audio, and where we checked remove HD audio, I will try again with v9.0.2.7 from the original disc and remove the PCM audio stream again and post the results.

Same Issue with v9.0.2.7 Beta...

Full disc blu-ray copy BD50 > BD25
from DVDFab created full disc image BD50 on hard drive
Disable all GPU codecs - Checked
Enable Lightning-Recoding - Not Checked

still stalls when encoding / compressing at 98.14%
I have included a screen shot of DVDFab v9.0.2.7 stalled
as well as the internal log

Please fix this issue...

Well the fab team has the disk and was able to do a 25 gig main movie without cuda that's not what you wanted.

They need to test makeing a 25 gig full disk and if they can't then it's up to them to find out why.I tried to think outside the box we checked the disk with vso inspector the files were fine.So whats left is why is the decoder acting this way and it's something the Fab team needs to see about as we did all we can.

Thank You glenns,

Yes I want a BD25 full disc copy,
but DVDFab can not as of now make even a BD25 Main Movie without cuda
for Me, as doing the main movie only... still stalls when encoding...

Well it could be a bad disk can you please download vso inspector a free program and check the disk with this program.It will take awhile to do a full scan but you will know if the disk or sectors are bad or unreadable a great free program.You can also check files with it.Lets see why this disk is a problem.

i consulted the worlds most famous detective who looked at this and says- when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth...”

Scanned the disc surface and file test... No Errors, or problems...

Capacity 23.6GB (12360672 sectors)
there are 61 files on the disk and all tested good
and 12360672 sectors, 0 to 12360671 and all tested good...

No problems or errors detected...

Hollow person: The temp.directory setting in version 9 is hidden and appears after hitting the settings button (don't ask me why it's hidden) anyway go to common settings then general click the small settings button upper right side then the box to check if you want the files to delete is their.

You should clone disk to hard drive first the default should be set at 50 gigs in fab for the clone then convert to 25 gigs from the hard drive or see if fab burner will burn the 23.5 gig folder uncompressed with the fab burner set for 23700 if the default 23866 doesn't work.By the way the 2300 default is for a rewritable disk they format differently and have less space to record on them.If your using them that's a problem for the burn and copy with this size file.

You can also try clone to hard drive 50 gig first then using img burn program outside of fab to burn the uncompressed clone to 25 gig disk.If img burn says file is to big check burn to end of disk and see if it will burn to end of disk maybe just cutting a little off the end.

If the store brought disk is 23.5 gigs total fab should be able to do this straight to a 25 gig disk because that's what my blank disks list as free space but if they consider some people are using 2300 as default then the disk has to be compressed by fab to fit this type disk.

Others have this problem in the past with disks close to the 25 gig free space limit after format=23.5.One developer reported this worked for main movie without cuda but Fab should be supporting cuda and you wanted full disk with menus so they should try to reproduce this as you wanted 25 gig full disk.Good luck.

Glen-nos, Thank You for showing where the setting for delete temp files is hidden in v9.0.2.6, I am using BD-R 25, I have tried all the settings for blu-ray write size, and DVDFab defaults to 23000 not 23866... ImgBurn disc write size is 23866
I have used DVDFab to copy the original disc to the hard drive as a BD50 and tried all the write size settings to then do a BD50 > BD25 and they all stall...
I did have one other blu-ray that stalled but I was able to do a BD50 full disc copy to a BD50 RE-DL and then a full disc copy from the BD50 RE-DL to a BD25... it would stall from a BD50 copy on the hard drive... I tried this with the Led Zeppelin disc and still it stalled... I have also tried other software on a different pc to do a full disc to BD25 and these other software all blow up and stop working with this disc or the BD50 copy on the hard drive...

also taking the image file made by DVDFab on the hard drive and using ImgBurn to write image file to disc gives a pop up of There doesn't appear to be enough space on the disc to burn this image. Image Size 12,3569,360 Sectors (24,139 MB) Disc Size 12,219,392 Sectors(23,866 MB) and choosing either Write until end of image (Overburn) or Write until end of disc (Truncate) both fail.

Put the 50 gig disk in your burner drive click the windows logo bottom left hand of page,click computer then look at your blu ray drive with the disk in it how many gigs is it?

If you still have the 25 gig fab compressed file how big is that and did you try playing the file that you think has no sound with power dvd by any chance? What software player did you use? As i had some disks power dvd 10 played without sound but put on my media player the sound was their.

On the temp. files theirs a setting in Fabs software settings that has a delete temp.Fab files and a check box.You need to check each version of fab to see if that box is checked as if so it deletes Fabs temp. files after converting or burning.

Hi glenns,

OK the original disc says it's 25,314,066,432 bytes - 23.5GB
DVDFab will not even clone it to a BD25 it says Media inserted in drive F: is not double layer blu-ray disc Please insert a double layer blu-ray to start the write process and ejects the blank BD25 (it doesn't even try to copy it)

I have even tried setting the Write size for the Blu ray in DVDFab settings to 23866 (from the default of 23000) and tried to clone it but it still says Media inserted in drive F: is not double layer blu-ray disc Please insert a double layer blu-ray to start the write process and ejects the blank BD25 (it doesn't even try to copy it)

I had to use v8.2.2.7 to uncheck the delete Fabs temp files as v9.0.2.6 doesn't have that option...

v8.2.2.7 also stalls at 98.14% for a full disc BD50 > BD25


but in the DVDFab temp/Full Disc/led_zeppelin_celebration_day/BDMV/Stream folder

it lists files all m2ts
00000 23512864 kb
00001 173132 kb
00002 197952 kb
00005 46542 kb
00006 63130 kb

file 00000 is unplayable (this is the file that DVDFab stalls on encoding)
file 00001 plays the opening menu with sound and title, but no options for concert, setup etc...
file 00002 is the same as 00001
file 00005 has the background of the menu without the title but has sound
file 00006 plays the black screen with white text closing credits with sound

using DVDFab Media Player selecting the DVDFab temp/Full Disc/led_zeppelin_celebration_day folder it will play the opening menu with sound but no options to select playing the concert...setup...etc... same as what is on file 00001

DVDFab should be able to compress the Full disc to a BD25,
that's why I bought this great program...

So glenns, say you bought a new big screen 1080p TV with surround sound... but all you could play on it were 10th generation copies of VHS tapes in Mono with the tracking messed up... it's not what you got it for...
the same with DVDFab, I want to make a Full Disc copy to a BD25, DVDFab should be able to do this...
