Can't save default profile?

[chadderack]

I was just using the generic.mp4 profile; settings weren't sticking.

In my test, I can set default iPad profile with all above customized settings.

But I can reproduce the problem on MKV audiocopy profile, the 2 pass can be saved, but the bitrate cannot. We will fix it in next version, thanks for your feedback.

Can you set m2ts.passthrough as the default ? I've been waiting on that fix for some time now.

Still not working v8105 with avi.divx.mp3

Just installed the latest version and tried to save a default profile and again it changed all settings.

What I tried to set for a divx.mp3 profile:

2 Pass
Video Fixed Bitrate - 3200
Audio Bitrate - 320
Video resolution - 720x400
Deinterlace - On


After saving this is what I get:

1 Pass
Video Fixed Bitrate - 2973
Audio Bitrate - 128
Video resolution - 700x400
Deinterlace - Off

Just FYI - Auto cropping has been disabled so I don't know why it's changing the resolution.

If I try to save again to the default profile (i.e. one already exists but is wrong - like above) it causes DVDfab to crash.

Anyone else still having issues?

I have tried upgrading from previous version as well as fully uninstalling and reinstalling and I get the same results regardless.

P.S - I also noticed that it creates a C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\DVDFab\profiles3 folder instead of the usual \profiles if that helps

Using either AVI-Audiocopy or MKV-Audiocopy, attempting to set 2 pass and set file size as default, results in no changes.
I have completely un-installed and reinstalled, but this has had no different result.

Has this been addressed in v8106 beta?

The release notes don't seem to refer to this issue and I'm hesitant to do an upgrade if it isn't going to fix the default profile issue.

Hi Rubber_-_Duck

Why don't you download it and try it for yourself.
You can have more than one version of 8 installed if you want, and if it is not working just delete that version.
To do this:
During install when the screen comes up for destination folder I put C:\Program Files\DVDFab 8106 QT and start menu folder I put DVDFab 8106 QT, I change the blue from DVD Fab8 QT, and add XXX after the 8, which will allow me to have more than one version installed, right now I have 7 versions of 8 installed and running, it will also put an icon on your desktop DVD Fab8QT, you will just rename it by adding the 3 numbers after the 8 to that version.

From the release notes for v8.1.0.5:

Fix: Profile "Set as default" feature doesn't save certain settings like bitrate.

Please try it and post your results.

[KnowEyeDear]

Still no improvement with the latest beta (8106).
avi(h264 + source audio) and mkv(h264 + source audio) profiles when attempting to set 2-pass and fixed file size as default are not saved.
These used to be set as default, but alas now, not so.

A couple posts back in this thread @ 07-06-2011, 12:54 AM I have already stated that v8105 did not fix this issue

For those who are still having these issues, v8092 still works nice for me when using the divx.mp3 profile.

Hopefully the DVDFab Team will get a fix out for this soon.

[KnowEyeDear]

Just inquiring if the proposed profile editor when released, will alleviate these problems, or in the interim, where can I find out what settings to hard change in the saved profile.xml.

Cheers

Anyone else having these issues?

or

Does anyone know how I can get my settings to stick?

P.S. I've tried v8106 and I still get the same problem. Only workaround at the moment is to roll back to v8092 when using divx.mp3

[maineman]

Maybe this will help...not a fix, but a workaround...for conversions anyway.


Take a look at post #4:

[chadderack]

Still no fix apparently.

Have been using 8.0.5.0 for conversions... limited to 128kbps on audio.

Seems like a major issue that many people are struggling with, which would indicate (to me) stopping new development (new features) and dealing with the bugs. I'm a C#/.NET developer and this is how I would approach the issue.

Hi all,

About this Profile "Set as default" feature, our devs've been doing a thorough examination and fix, please give us more time. Thanks.

v8107beta is almost fixed

Hello again,

I just tried out v8107beta and there are still a couple minor issues

1. It doesn't save 2 pass

2. It changes output resolution when saving

I can use the profile editor to force it to save resolution but I can't seem to save 2 pass anywhere.
