Good, at least we know the cause. I will pass it on Developers... Hopefully they will figure some way to disable PathPlayer automatically, when single-file content is introduced, as what main movie is.

And I have no clue why it happening in v.7, but not in v.6
At least you can continue work with your content even with some inconvenience.

Same here. If PathPlayer is disabled I can access the settings menu. Enabled, it crashes.

Good to know that the problem is not isolated to my computer. Thanks!

But with the old version 6 I can have PathPlayer always enabled and no crash. What's the problem with this 7 version?

This has been happening to me as well. The last official version was fine i tested that. Since the betas this has been happening. I now know it is a pathplayer problem as i disable it and i could access the settings option. When i turned it back on and tried to access the setting option i crashed.

@IPopov50 It does not crash with path player disabled only when enabled just tested

Just for kick of it, can you start DVDFab without the movie, disable PathPlayer, close DVDFab, and then try to crash it again. Thank you.

Yes, it's not protected.

It's not crashing in the analyse phase. Only when I try to press the icon to get to the settings after that the analyse is done. I have no issues to copy the source files if I don't touch the settings icon.

My major question/issue is why it's crashing when you try to access the settings when you have a main movie source selected and not when there are menus on the source.

Pressing an icon shouldn't crash the program IMHO.

Have you tried to insert a main movie disc and got it to not to crash when you try to get to the settings?

Confirmed it crashes just tested it and crashed

Am I understanding this are you trying to run a burned disc with no copy protection through Fab
If this is the case I have seen this on more than 1 occasion where Fab will stumble and crash because it is looking for copy protection and it is not there

Hmmmm. Now you really puzzled me.... And that "main movie" version was made with DVDFab, right? Did you try to play it with stand-along DVD player?

Yes, the main movie was created with DVDFab. Tried several different DVDs as the source to get a main movie to burn to a disc or mount as an ISO. Always crashing when the source only contains one VTS.

There are no problems to play the burned discs with a software player.

[Gummigutta]

Yes, tried with different discs and as soon as it's only a main movie source, it crashes. Full DVD movies never crashes.

[IPopov50]

If I use a source disc that only contains a main movie, it crashes.
If the source is a disc with menus + movie + bonus stuff it works.

And you have this crash/not crash on every one of them?

[Gummigutta]

No, you can't rule it out. Virtual drive is emulator, not a stand-along drive. It mimicking your actual optical drive, uses same driver, channels and so on. The fact that you have that problem with both optical drive and emulator, confirms that your optical drive is a problem.
Just a few days ago another member has a problem with drive accessing/communication, he refuses even to think that his drive is a problem - and after a few test and day of struggle he end up with confirmed faulty drive.

I've now tried with three optical drives. One IDE, one SATA and one USB.
