When I first started using DVDFab the manual said to always run FIX VTS before moving on to Shrink. Does this still apply to the more updated version of DVDFab5?
I have checked the user guide but cannot find any reference to FIXVTS.

I still use fixvts after ripping with dvdfab. Sometimes dvdfab does not give a clean rip, hence using fixvts to 'clean' or 'tweak' the rip just a bit, making it easier for dvd shrink to compress the files.

I agree with rtm completely. For no more effort or time than it takes to run fixvts, it is more than worth it to me to help prevent any potential problems.

Both have spoken true.

DvdFab doesn't always produce the cleanest rips. Incorporating FixVts into your normal process can only help, and it's fairly quick to.

Or use vobblanker. More difficult to use, but it is more versitile than fixvts (and updated, while fixvts is not any longer)

The BPI Are: SONY, UNIVERSAL, WARNER GROUP, EMI.
The RIAA Soundexchange Are: SONY, UNIVERSAL, WARNER GROUP, EMI.
The IFPI Are: The same anti consumer lot as listed above!
The MPAA Are: SONY, UNIVERSAL, WARNER GROUP, DISNEY, PARAMOUNT, FOX.

it is NOT that DVDFab HD Decrypter doesn't rip correctly and therefore you need FixVTS...... but it's the DVD itself that needs correcting after ripping! as stated by AlKohol:
Quote:
the latest Sony's protection just like "THE CAVE", and "THE FOG" and others, it has an error of "not compressable" when you're trying to "transcode/compress" with DVD Shrink or Nero Recode 2 even if you've successfully ripped the movie into your hard drive by DVDFAB Decrypter or DVD Decrypter. To solve this problem you need either Voblanker or FixVTS.

or you can simply use AnyDVD + CloneDVD and you won't have to use Voblanker or FixVTS! or other programs that do everything in one!

I agree and like to add that Anydvd in ripper mode will produce cleaner rips in that fixvts is not needed.

I knew that AnyDVD USED TO USE FIXVTS..... But after reading the changelog I stand corrected. As of last year they stopped it:

6.1.4.3 2007 05 08
- New (DVD): AnyDVD ripper rewritten from scratch. It is no
longer based on FixVTS code. If you want more control
(stream selection, main movie only selection, ...) we
recommend CloneDVD2 available at http://www.slysoft.com

I guess that they stopped using FixVTS because it's not updated anymore.
