I think DVDFab and AnyDVD generally have different strengths. I hope when Slysoft comes out with their Bluray ripping software similar to CloneDVD that they toss a bone to owners of previous software. I have the lifetime license for AnyDVD-HD though which I think is a worthwhile purchase. I hadn't even heard of it at the time, I wish I had scored it then

One of my friends bought DVD Fab back in the day when it had just come out and he got all of the software available at the time with a lifetime license for a mere 30$. I haven't gotten into ripping blurays yet though. I personally rip my dvd's with everything except all the foriegn language tracks, etc but I like keeping menus and such. Yes, until Slysoft comes out with something like CloneDVD for Bluray you need to use Clown to strip out the extras.

I have no use for all the extras, soundtracks, etc. you can't rip just the main movie with AnyDVDHD (at least that ive found, i own both). If you don't want a 1:1 copy of the disc to save some space, HandBrake is a popular tool to reencode the file.There is one big difference between the two (and the main reason i use DVDFab). Copying Blu-rays is technically only free for 30 days, but it's free while in beta (and it's been in beta for over a decade now).
