this may be a dumb question (but certainly no dumber than some:lol:):
Is there a good program to convert DVDs already burned with DVDFab? I'd like to begin digitizing my entire 1800 movie collection. I am currently using the aforementioned DVDFab but it takes FOREVER and it appears that the highest resolution is shitty at 640:smh:.


Any help?
 
new update coming any day now

it showed up for me as soon as i attached my memory card. You are right though, i dont see it there now. Thats strange.

The thumnail support is cool. im guess the jpg has to be in the same folder with the movie. I will look into everything else soon
 
some bugs found. we will probably see a new release shortly. this release hasnt even been posted on the wd site.
It was reported that the jpeg image in thumbnails doesn't change when you change the jpeg in the folder

It was reported that the jpeg image in thumbnails sometimes disappear...

It was reported that 1080p movies that worked in previous firmware, don't work in this new one

It was reported that 23,976fps movies still doesn't work.. even if the firmware says so... ??!!

It was reported that delay in srt subtitles (~0.3 seconds) is lower now but its still there, and it now also causes video freeze at some moments that actors say too much in little amount of time

It was reported that SSA subtitles just show the first line... and no more subtitle...

It was reported that someone WD TV is no longer recognizing a WD Passport drive I have been using on it since I bought my WD TV HD with the new firmare

It was reported that a 120 GB Western Digital Passport drive and an 60 GB 5G iPod, formated Mac OS Extended, neither were recognized after firmware upgrade.

It was reported that Avis and mpegs which take 10-15 seconds to start, maybe because they are marked as AVI 2.0. Changing to AVI 1.0 makes the start faster.

So far i see that avis are taking longer to load.
 
by the way, i wouldnt update until the official release is available on the site. a lot of bugs have been reported
