I have just downloaded the new version 8.0.0.2 of DVDFab, and although I know that it is early days, the same problem with menus not working that was happening with version 7 continues.
I am mainly talking about the jump to a scene or chapter menus on the animated Mr Bean Series (Region 4 Australia), but there seem to be increasingly more discs lately that suffer a similar fate.
Clicking on the forward arrow should take you to the next episode, but instead it dumps you back to the main menu.
Now I know that I am not allowed to mention competing software on this forum, but it is an entirely freeware program that has not been updated in years that I now use instead of DVDFab on these series of 6 DVDs, and this fortunately does make the chapter or episode menus work.
As I only purchased these animated Mr Bean DVDs earlier this year I cannot be sure that any previous version of DVDFab made the episode menus work, but as this is increasingly happening with more movies it could be that something got broken somewhere along the line without me knowing it at the time.
Things have not changed with reference to this admittedly minor inconvenience in version 8.x, but I really do appreciate the nifty feature which allows it as well as version 7.x to happily co-exist under each of the three different OSs I currently use on my triple boot setup.
This definitely makes comparing the versions more convenient, and also makes reverting back to the last working version that much easier and faster than it would have otherwise been.
Has anyone else noticed a similar increase in the unreliability of menus working as they were designed to on full disc backups to a folder to their computer's hard disk, or am I just unlucky in buying these particular DVD titles which are not really anything recent or exotic (as I tend to like more of the older titles in preference to those released later than 1990)?
