To be honest, I hardly ever use the preview function so I would not be able to confirm when the problem started with which version.
I did a bit more testing on two other older WinXP Pro 32-bit boxes I'd around for misc testing platforms. Same observation that DVDFab 6.2.0.5 preview function did not work on these two PCs too, along with my previously reported observation above done on an older WinXP laptop.
Thanks for checking these other machines. I guess we know for sure there's a problem going on here with DVDFab 6.x.x.x and Windows XP Service Pack 3. I wonder if this version would work on a Windows XP Service Pack 2 installation.
On one of the boxes, I still had DVDFab 5.2.3.2 installed, and preview function worked with this earlier version but, again, not with the latest 6.2.0.5 release. Thus, you are correct in stating that preview did worked at one time with earlier versions.
Aha! So, I'm not nuts. Thanks for confirming that, tli. I guess we can safely say that there is something going wrong in the DVDFab 6.x.x.x versions that make it not work right with Windows XP Service Pack 3.
DXVA was not available--grayed out--in all 3 of my XP test platforms. Don't know if it makes any difference, but just curious, what display adapter is in your XP system? All mine are ATI-based.
Mine too is greyed. What the heck is wrong with this version?
Guys, I just checked this on an XP SP3 machine that I occasionally use, Fab Ver 6.2.1.0.
I used an ISO rip of Star Trek XI that I have on my hard disk.
Using the "internal" option, I got no sound.
Using the "Directshow" with the ffdshow filters that I have installed, I got no sound.
Using the "DirectShow" option with the DVDFab Video decoder and the DVDFab Audio decoder, it worked perfectly.
PS: I have the DXVA turned off.
Hi GregiBoy.
Okay, I just checked the DVDFab website and clicked on the download link, but the version that's there that you can download is 6.2.0.5, not 6.2.1.0. Is the higher version available only to you moderators right now?
Was this when your Preview started working? When you changed over to a new machine running Vista? That's what I seemed to gather from your previous posts.
No, maybe I didn't explain it very well.
The preview when using DVDFab did not work at all on this computer until I downloaded and installed 6.2.0.5 and then it suddenly started working and has worked okay ever since.

This is really weird, because as I posted some time ago in a topic, the preview has NOT worked for me for ages, but DID suddenly start working again after I installed 6.2.0.5 and still does.
You're using DVDFab on a Vista Home Prem machine, right? The latest 6.2.0.5 Preview worked on my Win7 machine too, but not on any of the three WinXP machines I'd tested with. Seems to affect only certain XP machines--that had Preview working previously with earlier versions of DVDFab.

So, just so that I understand what you said, you're saying that YOU TOO have experienced the same exact problems I described in my Post #1 and Post #2 on a PC with Windows XP Professional (I take it 32-bit) but it works fine on your Windows 7 64-bit system? Correct?
... Like I said already, I'm like almost 100% positive that DVDFab's Preview screen used to work fine in earlier versions and on this same machine of mine. I just noticed this boo-boo with this version of DVDFab.

zZz, I can confirmed all the symptoms exactly as you've described in Post #1 and #2 under the same WinXP, DirectX and DVDFab environment. Don't know the cause(s) either--not just your PC though.
I also checked on my Win7Ux64 system, and DVDFab preview works there.
Hi tli.

If so, I sure hope that the DVDFab technical guys fix this problem. It's a real pain in the butt to have to look at/play all the titles in silence in the Preview screen in the lower-left. Like I said already, I'm like almost 100% positive that DVDFab's Preview screen used to work fine in earlier versions and on this same machine of mine. I just noticed this boo-boo with this version of DVDFab.
