For the sake of promoting the development of DVDFab to let it move a revolutionary step forward, providing users the correct and specific information of all legitimate videos, DVD, Blu-ray and 4K UHD Blu-ray discs to deliver users better video experience is the newest strategy of DVDFab. Now DVDFab announces the newest DVDFab with some related UI upgrades to collect the meta information of all kinds of videos, DVD, Blu-ray and 4K UHD Blu-ray discs. Anyone who knows the accurate information of the unedited video, DVD, Blu-ray or 4K UHD Blu-ray disc opened with DVDFab can edit the disc content, and get awarded by delivering DVDFab the right disc information. We believe this action will benefit users around the world. Thus, when you open a video, DVD, Blu-ray and 4K UHD Blu-ray disc for which another user has supplied the Meta Info, correct and highly detailed information about the content will be shown, and you can make easy choices about what to include for a better viewing experience and convenience in the later playback of the DVDFab output.
