Occasionally even robust software like DVDFab can encounter a situation with a DVD disc or system from which it cannot recover. When this happens, DVDFab will often pop up a box to alert you to the problem and if possible will note the failure with an error code in the task progress area of its window. These codes can help you or others diagnose the problem.
