Introducing the DVDFab UHD Copy

Thanks to the increasing availability of both home 4K UHD Blu-ray Players and 4K UHD TVs from major manufacturers, such as Sony, Panasonic, Samsung and more, the next generation 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray titles are becoming popular among Blu-ray lovers and even common consumers. In the meantime, many enthusiasts are expressing their strong desires on social networks and some 3rd party forums for the 4K Ultra HD contents. However, due the facts that both the 4K Ultra HD titles and blank BD XL discs are still quite expensive, backing up the 4K Ultra HD movies to regular BD-50 and BD-25 discs seems to be much more pragmatic and economical.
