AnyDVD works in the background to automatically remove the copy protection of a DVD movie as soon as it's inserted into the drive, allowing you then to backup the movie using a DVD backup tool such as CloneDVD and CloneDVD mobile. You can also remove the RPC region code, thereby making the movie region free and viewable on any DVD player and with any DVD player software.

SCREW this crap!

Use DVDFab Decrypter and DVDFab HD Decrypter - both are 100% FREE!

Slysoft lied to their customers about the free lifetime upgrade and are charging for Blu-Ray and HD decryption even though it should be free.

Don't give 'em any business. They betrayed their loyal customers.

DVDFab HD decrypter removes the HDCP protections on the fly?

It rips the content to disk minus any copy protection.

The "on the fly" driver model can be a mess, especially in Vista. I think that the idea of having a stand-alone executable, such as DVD Decrypter, DVD Shrink, DVDFab Decrypter, etc. is one I personally prefer.

The program runs, rips the disk, then you close it and it gets out of the way. Then you can use DVD Shrink or DVD MovieFactory or whatever program you wish to process the video, or simply store it and watch it on the hard drive.

While I licensed AnyDVD some time back, I have often had trouble with it interfering with the operation of my optical drive. I gave up on using it sometime last year. That was before Slysoft screwed their customers and charged extra for Blu-Ray and HD ripping.

So now, I'm pretty much anti-slysoft, especially since DVDFab HD Decrypter is free and AnyDVD HD is $79, and even $30 for existing "lifetime upgrade" customers.

Well, AnyDVD is must if you just want to watch a movie and not rip it to the disk; I mean who wants to do that just to watch a flick? With AnyDVD you can hook up an Xbox 360 drive and watch HD movies with no HDCP compliant hardware at all! Also for the record it works flawlessly in Vista

DudeBoyz

I dunno. I watch movies all the time without ripping it to disk. But when I want to make a backup, that's when I do the ripping.

I know a few folks who are ripping their movies to these huge 500 gig hard drives and using it like a media jukebox thing.

Me? I like to re-author a disk so I can just put them in and they auto-play with no menus getting in the way.

DVDFab Decrypter, DVDFab HD Decrypter and the RipIt4Me/DVD Decrypter combos are all 100% free, so why spend $79 if you don't have to?

Judas

Yeah, i'm thoroughly enjoying the AnyDVD HD setup, just slap in a HD-DVD and hit play, budaboom'badabang and your laughing without spending a single second longer working on anything else.

Very true, you don't have to buy anything to enjoy HD movies. But like everything else we pay for it's for the luxury and ease of use

Judas

it just sucks that the HD-DVD will not playback @ 2560x1600 without horrid corruption/distortion and you have to set the resolution of the screen to 1920x1200.

I mean quicktime and WMVs playback brilliantly @ 2560x1600 that are 1080p. gotta be a driver/hardware limitation on the ati side.. Course i've heard the same thing happening to geforces

I have to be honest - I'd much rather watch movies on a TV than on my computer. Plus, no need to deal with all that Vista and DRM crap.

Isn't anyone else upset that Slysoft is charging $30 when they said you would get free ugrades for life?

If they had simply put Blu-Ray and HD in the core program and not charged existing users for the update, I think it would have been ok, even if they raised the overall price for new purchasers.

I don't like the way Slysoft does business, I guess.

Sandok

If it's a program you'll use a lot, who cares? Anyways, what's 30$ in the long run?

LHC

I personally love AnyDVD. I'm always afraid of my DVD's being scratched or completely mutilated when other people are in my house (my brothers are absolute slobs, and so are their friends). So whenever I buy a movie I instantly rip it to my comp.

I really like AnyDVD + DVD Decrypter combo

It's the principle of the thing.

You pay them $39 for free lifetime upgrades. You expect to get free lifetime upgrades.

I can understand when they raised the price to $49 for NEW buyers, but forcing existing users to pay for an upgrade totally violates the free lifetime upgrade promise.

DVDFab HD Decrypter is 100% free and works fine. Why pay $79 to a company that breaks their promise to existing customers?

Judas

For gods sake, would people get the hell off of this DRM rant, Seriously, it's blown way the freaking hell out of perportion, I've yet to run into a DRM problem, hell in vista, i found it easier to get around it ironically.

And IMO, the computer is turning into our setop boxes, so now were starting to hook our computers to the TVs before a VCR or DVD player, so when a HDCP part is preventing you from playing back a HD-DVD onto a TV in a legal fashion, then getting around HDCP is the way to go.

My Current monitor is bigger then the TV,

When you spend close to 2k on your monitor, and only $40 on a 27" tv, it should be obvious which someone would rather look at.

Priorities come into play as well, if you aren't going to be using your computer as much as your TV, then ok, makes sense, more money spent on a TV then the computer screen...

I'd rather spend even 100bucks to get my HD-DVDs to PLAY rather then haveing to go out and buy another video card + a Compliant HDTV and the cables to boot.

So were debating specifically about "ethics"... while the promise or the work was orginally marketed for lifetime use and upgrades, people can't see 5 minutes into the future (and lets not debate about that)..

Things apparently changed, the agreement had to be rewritten, and at some point, you may have orginally agreed with it without knowing in the ELUA or whatever.

Reguardless,

Yes, the DVDFab will be great and all, but it doesn't supply one unique feature that anyDVD does, and that's on the fly HDCP removeall. If i were first ripping then watching, then i'd easily without a thought, use the DVDFab... but i don't do that, nor do i want to wait 40 minutes for a HD-DVD to rip fully.

So it's free to rip, or pay to play without ripping.

Kinda screws up your movie night if your inviting people over to watch a HD-DVD and when they get there, you tell em "ok, we'll be watching (whatever) in about 40 minutes"

You're exaggerating the whole "watch after wating for 40 minutes" thing - I guess to try to prove a point.

Bottom line is - if you RIP something ONCE, you are done. You can leave it on the hard drive, burn it to a disk and customize it any way you want.

If all you want to do is watch a movie, just put the thing into your player and hit the play button.

As for DRM - it's a HUGE thing for most of us. Why it isn't for you is your business, but if you are a big DRM lover, you shouldn't be using AnyDVD...

Why on earth do certain news articles posted turn into a Hot Subject.Every one has certain preferences of software that is used by an individual.

If you use DVDFab HD Decrypter/DVDFab Decrypter or AnyDVD or any other equivalent,it's an individual choice to Pay for or acquire Freeware applications.

Seriously is the any reason to argue about it?

After all i use anydvd and it works well enough for my use.

I wouldn't call it an arguement.

discussion.. even if it seems "heated"


Neither one of has resorted to swearing or insults


dude,

I'm not exaggerating, with the machine i've currently got setup to PLAY the HD-DVDs, when i rip the HD-DVDs, depending on the HD-DVD, it has taken anywhere from 28 minutes to rip, to up to over an hour to rip.

This is using a Xbox360-HD-DVD drive plugged in using a USB2.0 port so that's not the problem. I would assume it'd be faster if i had say an internal SATA drive, but those things are hugely expensive.

Nobody mentioned direct insults or anything as such.It's just appears that this thread is becoming a little to heated.All im asking is can this be cooled down a little.

(Apart from that it seems a little offtopic).

People sometimes get highly emotional and defensive about the software and procedures they use / follow. It happens.

Doesn't seem like the thread got all nasty though.

Folks do seem a bit over-sensitive. Maybe it's the "Don Imus" effect?

I pretty much hate on Slysoft for screwing customers. But regardless of that, I think it's always good to mention free apps that can do the same thing (or close to it). Free and Open Source software rocks, and I feel bad when folks fork out cash for apps if they don't have to. So, I mention 'em as alternatives.

I think if AnyDVD didn't use the "Device Driver" model, and were instead a stand-alone executable, there'd be less issues with conflicts.

MIG-31

Don't worry about it,just good to see an explanation

Besides that this software has already been updated,this is presumably a bug fix update.

You will find the updated thread Here.

Besides this thread has been a little offtopic for just a little too long.Closed.
