DVDfab: Troubleshooting

Determining which Title(Angle) to rip

Some DVD have 2 complete movie tracks, often a "rated" and "unrated" version. Typically the longer one is what you want, but not always. Sometimes it has been observed that the more desirable "unrated" version was a minute or more shorter. DVDFab seems to favor the first of the two occurrences without regards to size or which version. The point was originally with DVD to have 2 different camera angles but that is less common. Sometimes you have to use the Internet search to find out which is the correct angle. A list of Movie Censorship information sources is also useful to determine which track you want to make a backup of.

There are online resources to locate information about your DVD and which track is the unrated version.

How to copy scratched movie with DVDFab

Choose "Full Disc" mode for backing up a scratched disc. This mode will skip all the sectors which can't be read, and fill the gaps with empty sectors.
