Review: DVDFab Blu-Ray Copy (version 9) for Windows

If you have ever tried copying a Blu-ray copy of any movie, you can attest to the fact that it is not as straight forward as copying other files from one storage media to another. DVDFab Blu-ray Copy boasts of being the first Blu-ray copy software capable of removing any Blu-ray copy protections from any storage device.

This makes it easy to copy any Blu-ray file to DVD, Blu ray, AVCHD disc that can play in Blu ray player only or to a hard drive. With this full featured Blu ray copy application, you have access to up to four copy modes (main movie, full movie, customize and clone/burn) and a variety of settings capable of customizing your Blu ray to meet your needs.

To enhance its recording and conversion speed, this cutting edge software can support NVIDIA CUDA technology, Multi-Core CPUs or homebrew. The software is so good that you would hardly differentiate between the copy and the original.

Its ability to support Blu ray 3D makes this a leading product in its category. It doesn’t just stop at that; it is capable of copying 3D Blu-ray to a 2D Blu-ray, BD 50 3D to a BD 25 3D that is in its original format and can also copy movies in 2D/3D Blu ray based on your selection.

If you want to convert Blu ray to a different format, it can create Blu-ray SBS 3D from Blu-ray 3D. The DVDFab Blu-Ray Copy has advanced features for cloning, burning, decrypting and copying any Blu ray files considering that it features advanced copy protection removal mechanisms making it easy to copy Blu ray to blank DVD, AVCHD and Blu ray. Its ability to circumvent the newest bus encryptions, MKB, UOPS and BD-Live makes it stand out as one of the best Blu ray copy software available.

One great feature about the product is that you do not lose on the audio quality of the output file. If the Blu ray had HD audio, you don’t have to worry about losing that audio quality. This doesn’t mean it is permanent. In fact, you can set the DVDFab Blu-Ray Copy to remove the HD audio or even change the LPCM or DTS audio to a AC3 if you are concerned about the size of the video file.

Another great feature that the software has is the fact that you need not install a third party driver to run it considering that it features an internal UDF 2.50 parser that is capable of reading Blu ray.
