#Handbrake vs dvdfab for mac portable#

I find it to be a complete solution for backing up and converting DVD and BD to portable files. To be honest, DVDFab is the only solution that can rip or clone a BD and remove the Cinavia watermark and put the audio back into place, whereas RedFox downmixes the audio to stereo.Īs far as conversion goes, DVDFab is faster with good results at the lowest quality settings and is still faster than the competition at high quality settings. I'm talking strictly BD backing up and conversion. I'm not a pro but after testing all the best rippers and encoders, I narrowed it down to DVDFab (All-in-One license) and AnyDVD HD+BD Clone. Mobo can't handle more, and I can''t justify the cost of upgrading drives to 8TB. So given that sort of usage scenario, if DVDFab is producing poor quality encodes, what software would give me the best quality? To keep originals in mint condition they are never played. All originals are then stored offsite for safe keeping.Sometimes after purchasing my original disk I will immediately burn to BD25.

When I run short of space on the server I often burn back the MKV file to BD25.If I'm going to store on my server I will do blu-ray RIP with audio and video copy to try to maintain original quality.There are a few other niggling things with DVDFab and the UI (IMHO), is terrible. Now I don't know if that's because they can't figure out what bit rate would give optimal disk usage, or they have the VSO mentality of 'filling disks is a bad thing'. There seems to be a lot of negativity going around about DVDFab's encode quality.

I don't want to start a flame war, just looking for some impartial opinions and direction. I purchased a lifetime subscription of DVDFab products some time ago.
