someone tell me where to put the registration code after downloading?

What timing! Just what I was looking for. Thanks, all!

BEWARE!!!
If you installed the DVDFab Blu-ray Ripper 12.0.7.0 (Win&Mac) offer from GOTD May 3, 2022 and then install this you will lose the Blu-ray ripper.

The program works as intended. Many of the giveaways of this variety does not compress DVD- 9 to DVD 5 it is only the latter that is supported. DVD R DL discs are still quite expensive and the common format is regular DVD + and - disks. They are much cheaper in bulk.

Today's giveaway does not contain a Cinavia add on which is required to fully decrypt disks that have this technology. To the best of my knowledge when you put a copy protected disk in the drive the program warns you of this as DVD Fab has a database of disks when you insert them.

The program should be used for legal purposes, of course to backup your movies you rightfully purchased.

The options in the interface however are fully customizable. So you can get the perfect backup according to your preferences. And it's pretty easy to use too. DVD Fab has decided to integrate all their products into one exe with the exception of DVD Fab Player which is a separate program.

When you activate the giveaway you will get access only to the authorized modules that the key specifies. However, should we come across another giveaway that has a DVD Fab product you don't need to uninstall the program you just need to add the license key to the product and you'll be activated.

This program on giveaway is pretty rare and it's always good to see DVD Fab show up here on GOTD.

DVDFab DVD Copy is the best way to archive & continue to play your DVD collection, as disc drives and players become more rare. DVDs, especially those that came out after Blu-ray happened, don't have enough quality [on purpose] to re-encode to another format or size, unless you use something like DVDFab's AI enlarger. To playback on Android VLC has the needed mpg2 decoder and so works fine.

FWIW, copying a DVD's mpg2 files -- not re-encoding them -- is the only way to retain all of the original quality. The time it takes to copy a DVD disc depends on the DVD drive's speed, which may be governed. There are free tools to take a DVD's mpg2 files, which are stored in VOB file containers, and save them as regular mpg2 files, or put them in other types of containers, e.g. MKV, all without re-encoding. You just have to make sure whatever device you're playing the video on can handle mpg2, e.g. use VLC. While the video may be watchable on a FHD [1080p] TV, subs may look a bit nasty, because they're stored as graphics, not text. You can however OCR them in free apps like Subtitle Edit -- name the .srt file you get the same as the video file & most players [more than will display graphics-based subs] will display them at the proper resolution.

DVDFab (& StreamFab) are terrific pieces of software, have been a paying subscriber for years. Innovative and constantly updated. Changes how and when you can watch media. Very helpful if you run Plex, Jellyfish, etc.

This is the best of the best and has been around a long time. I can only imagine that the people who voted negatively for this giveaway don't like the idea of the rest of us being able to make perfect copies of copy protected DVDs. However, the law gives us the right to make backups and this does that beautifully.
