When you first load a disk into DVDFab to rip, it attempts to identify it with mixed success. If it cannot, it offers what appears to be the burned-on disk id as the disk name. All of which is fine. However, if once you have ripped the disk you insert another, things get strange and for some time I had difficulties in finding where my rips have done.
This is the sequence, using Disk1, Disk2, Disk3, Disk4 etc
Start DVDFab and load a disk by clicking in the box in the centre and dragging the disk from file manager. DVDFab displays DIsk1 as the ID and saves to a directory DISK1
Rip the disk.
Remove the disk and the "finished" information in the DVDFab main window. Note that Disk1 is still displayed.
Load Disk2. DVDFab still displays Disk1 as the Disk ID.
Rip the disk. All rips go to the DISK1 directory.
Remove the disk and the "finished" information in the DVDFab main window.
Load Disk3. DVDFab now displays Disk2 as the Disk ID.
Rip the disk. All rips go to a new directory called DISK
Rince and repeat.
You end up with rip directories DISK1, containing Disk1 and Disk2 rips, DISK2 containing Disk3 rips and DISK3 containing Disk4 rips. Once you know what is going on this is merely inconvenient. I have taken to restarting DVDFab with each successive rip but it can catch you out if you forget to do that.
Oh, yes, the disk Hero (starring Jet Li) is identified as Hero but shows the graphic for "Last Action Hero". I can't off hand remember which film identified itself as a series of karaoke lessons. I understand this feature is new so teething problems can be expected.
