#How to use makemkv manual mode software

I'm not sure if ripoff or vaporware better describes DVDFab.ĭon't waste your time with.

Then watch as maybe a few months later they just quit supporting one of the modules you paid for because they don't want to put any time or money into R&D (like with the Cinavia or iTunes DRM ones). DVDFab just wants you to pay for every little module separately and the prices are a bit silly too. I wish BD Rebuilder would make a Linux port so I could dump Windows. These days I just stick with MakeMKV and BD Rebuilder or DVD Shrink and they do what I need 99.9% of the time. I'm not sure why they just stop caring and don't seem to put any R&D into these apps because they are useful to a lot of folks (especially the iTunes DRM one). They also had an iTunes DRM Removal tool that no longer works. I think 99% of the time when I've had a Cinavia title, it's not supported by the DVDFab Cinavia Removal tool. The only real downside I'd say of MakeMKV is it cannot remove Cinavia then again DVDFab's Cinavia module is pretty much a waste of money at this point.

DVDFab sucks at this, have had several times were DVDFab didn't pick the right subs. MakeMKV imo does a better job with finding the correct subtitles (I just go through and tick them all then watch the output to find the forced ones).

They did at one point have a Linux version but quickly dropped support as no one was buying it (I guess they don't understand that Linux users support free, open-source software (FOSS)). DVDFab is only supported on Mac or Windows. MakeMKV you can run in Windows, Linux or Mac. MakeMKV typically works on everything I try where DVDFab has failed on some newer titles.

MakeMKV is a lot lighter in that there isn't 20 different modules that all want you to pay for them. MakeMKV is free provided you have the beta key or you pay like $50 one time for the software. So having used both quite extensively - here's my take.ĭVDFab costs quite a bit of money unless you are just using the free Decrypter part (and I thought even that eventually wanted you to pay for it).
