DVDFab Launches AV1 Support and AI Enhancements in Major Software Update

DVDFab has announced comprehensive updates to its media software suite, introducing AV1-ready ripping capabilities, enhanced copy protection engines, and new AI-powered upscaling modules. The update marks the company's 23rd anniversary and represents a significant advancement in video conversion technology, particularly with the integration of AV1 encoding for both standard dynamic range and HDR10 content.

The DVDFab Ripper now supports AV1 output in MP4 and MKV formats for DVD and Blu-ray content, providing efficient high-quality SDR conversion, while the UHD Ripper adds native AV1 HDR10 support. The software also features improved subtitle OCR accuracy and 100 new device presets for streamlined conversion workflows. These enhancements address the growing demand for efficient video compression without quality loss, particularly important as AV1 gains industry adoption for its superior compression efficiency.

DVDFab's copy protection engines have been strengthened to handle newer Java-based protections, including those found on recent Japanese adult DVDs, ensuring continued compatibility with current disc releases. The software maintains its ability to create reliable 1:1 clones and perform smart compression for various media formats while preserving original menu structures and disc features.

The company has introduced two significant AI modules: AI Upscaler and AI HDR Upconverter, which utilize NVIDIA's AI Enhancer technology for GPU-accelerated processing. These tools enable clean enlargement of HD and SD sources while converting SDR libraries to HDR10 format, integrating directly with both Ripper and Creator modules for end-to-end quality improvement. The AI enhancements represent a major step forward in automated video quality enhancement, making high-quality upscaling accessible to broader user bases.

For macOS users, DVDFab has expanded its native support with UHD Creator for Mac, enabling true 4K Blu-ray authoring from various 4K formats that maintain compatibility with standalone UHD players. The platform also introduces cross-standard conversion tools including Blu-ray to UHD Converter for Mac and UHD to Blu-ray Converter for Mac, providing mixed-OS teams with native macOS workflows for professional media production. This macOS expansion addresses the growing professional media market that relies on Apple hardware for content creation and conversion.

The DVDFab Creator module now includes a built-in video editor with trimming, cropping, effects, subtitle, and audio adjustment capabilities, while Blu-ray Creator adds new themed menu templates for weddings, birthdays, and travel content. These creator tools maintain proper BDMV and VIDEO_TS structures essential for reliable playback on standalone players, ensuring professional-grade results with reduced setup time.
