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.

Logging / Tracking down errors
FairUse creats logs in the directory of the video output file. The log has the same name as the project name. If your project name is Nosferatu, then look for Nosferatu.log. Below is the first few lines of a sample log file for your familiarity:
10:29:31 512 FairUse Wizard 2.11b log file 10:29:31 512 1 processor(s) detected 10:29:31 512 Directory set to : C:\Program Files\FairUse Wizard 2\ 10:29:41 512 DvdCache::_PhysicalInit() : initialising physical dvd access
The DVD could not be converted error
There are multiple reasons for this error. They will be broken down by each occurrence.
Initializing the compression _TranscodeProcess() The DVD could not be converted on the second pass
The first pass completes successfully, but the second pass fails on a 2-pass encoding using H.264. The log indicates:
14:00:09 1012 Using x264 codec : 2 pass, pass 2, speed 5 14:00:09 1012 Opening the codec driver 14:00:09 1012 Opening the codec driver OK 14:00:09 1012 Initializing the compression 14:04:16 512 _TranscodeProcess() : The DVD could not be converted
Solution: currently unresolved.
