I can under stand the need for the new whizzy interface on version 9 for basic tasks. However it's a real PITA for DVD ripping.
1. It has no queue window so you cannot manage the jobs in the Queue, specifically bit rate video size etc..
2. it's MUCH slower to do the ripping and doesn't seem to do any better job
To give an example, with a like for like DVD .ISO files (ripped to xvid .avi mp3). single pass encode at exactly the same DVD Fab settings.
8.1.3.2 = 370 fps
9.0.2.2 = 287 fps
CPU usage in Win8 task manager was 70% using 8.3.2.2 vs 90% with 9.0.2.2
memory usage was 247mb in 8.3.2.2 vs 520mb in 9.0.2.2
Now anyone ripping pretty much knows what they are doing and the new interface makes it very slow to quickly set up a large queue of files to rip and to check and ensure all the settings are going to be OK. Version 9 is pretty much unusable for this type of task. It performs so badly compared to the earlier version I tested, that something must be wrong in the coding?
