Complaint Review: DVDFab Fengtao Avangate

DVDFab Fengtao Avangate Demo products work but then stop after registration is purchased Beijing China

When I tried the demo product for DVDRipper, it worked on my system.  That was version 7. However, when I purchased the upgrade to 9 it didn't work.  DVDFab argued that they do not offer refunds after a sale and said that I had the opportunity to try the product. 

Yeah, it worked in demo mode but I was forced to buy the new version and it didnt' work.

After I complained to American Express, the charge was from their scammer associate Avangate, DVDFab fixed the issue.  Avangate is the middle man to broker fees for DVDFab.

The software doesn't work reliably and their new interface in version 9 is clunky.  It's not worth the money.  The product is so bad that they've gone from offering a $20 Amazon gift card to $50.

DVDFab DVDCopy has always worked.  It's the other products that don't.  Don't trust your demo version. 

Here's what I shared with AMEX --

Below are changes to the DVDFab program.  When I complained that features weren't working
it included problems with the "Ripper" and "freezing" when copying a bluray.  Note that I purchased in early July 2013.  The fixes are after I reported problems.
