AnyDVD cracks yet un-released DVD protection

17 January 2005 14:51 by James "Dela" Delahunty | 60 comments

A new version of SONY's DVD copy protection system ARccOS has been compromised. The protection is on the DVD version of the movie "The Forgotten" scheduled for DVD release on January 18th 2005. Today, January 17th, The new version of the popular tool AnyDVD by the Antiguan software company SlySoft, which eliminates this protection, was released. "We remove copy protections faster, than the movie industry can deploy them" says SlySoft's CEO Giancarlo Bettini very pleased. "Maybe the movie industry will start to reconsider using these useless copy protections. They cost money and may cause compatibility problems with the customer's equipment".

Another new protection called Settec ALPHA-DVD, developed by by a spin-off of Korea's Elecronic giant LG, is no problem for AnyDVD either. Puppetlock is a third variant of new copy protections for movie DVDs. The strange name was given by SlySoft engineers, because it was firstsighted on German marionette DVDs. AnyDVD is a driver, which descrambles DVD-Movies automatically in the background. This DVD appears unprotected and region code free for all applications and the Windows operating system as well. With AnyDVD's help copy tools like CloneDVD, Pinnacle Instant Copy, InterVideo DVD-Copy, etc. are able to copy CSS protected Movies. With the help of AnyDVD you can watch movies with non matching region codes with every DVD Player Software you like. AnyDVD decrypts not just DVDs: AnyDVD allows you also to play, copy and rip protected Audio CDs.

You can download AnyDVD from AfterDawn here.

Not sure of error recieved "what it said exactly", but I have found that sometimes it is neccessary to copy to HD with Decrypter...select the mode function, then FILE, just remember where the file is!!! Then use Shrink and that has solve a couple problems in past for me when all else failed. P.S. I still an error message window, I selected the "NO" option and kept coping all the files that it would copy and a mystery to me when Shrink was doing its thing all was ok....can't explain That though! Try it! [ + quote]

If I try AnyDVD with "War of the Worlds" and click on the fox I get "Nodisc is present in Drive D". The DVD plays fine in mt DVD player but nothing will read it in my PC! Even my computer shows drive D as empty with this DVD. Of course drive checked and will copy "Defence of the realm" etc. Any Ideas?? [ + quote]

alfie1939, War of the Worlds Region 1 release date is November 22. I would take a guesstimate that you have a bootleg? Where did you get it? [ + quote]

alfie1939, You could have the original War of the Worlds (1953), which is already out. The one slated for Nov 22nd release (2005)is a remake with Tom Cruise. Sorry for any confusion. I would have got back sooner, but we had several power outages. Are you sure you were looking in the right drive? Have you got a dvd- rom drive as well as a DVD-RW drive? If so, right click AnyDVD, show information, and click the D or E drive, where ever you have the disc. [ + quote]

Dear Mackdll, OK no problem I've copied lots before in this drive which is drive D a Liteon r/rw drive. I did try AnyDVD but although it shows the correct drive i.e. D it also gives the message no disc in drive. As I said before I can't get anything to read the disc or even part of it but it plays in my DVD recorder connected to the TV. Alfie [ + quote]

Tried backing up "Stealth"...used AnyDVD...looks like new CSS protection...movie copied but will not play properly...movie images are frozen until final 4-6 chapters. Any update on new copy protection and possible cracks..."Stealth" is from the Sony studios. [ + quote]

what is a freeware which does the same as anydvd [ + quote]

DVD43_3.7.0 is a current freeware that I use & can be downloaded free...(change xx to tt). That's what I use to remove copy protection. http://download.copybase.ch/3rdparty/DVD43_3-7-0_Setup.exe or you can buy a program like AnyDVD to do it. [ + quote]

if you have DVD43 on your computer and want to install anydvd' anydvd will delete DVD43 before installing itself [ + quote]
flag (Junior Member) 7 March 2006 9:03
I didn't, I simply chose not to and continued with the install, only thing is I unchecked the auto start up box under AnyDVD settings/program cause here is the thing; DVD43 will automatically start up due to no settings, so when I want to use AnyDVD I simply click on the DVD43 icon in the taskbar and then choose close before I start up AnyDVD!
