No Argument,AnyDVD is a good ripper,its surely not worth paying $39.00 for it.The free program DVDFAB express has never faided me once,DVD Shrink has,I tried AnyDVD free trial,and its not worth $39.00,with no burning engine,so i got the complete DVDFAB express pack for $26.00,with the burning engine,it works great never failed.Does every sony movie,or disney.

The whole point in these matter is theres 10 free rippers thats just as good

Ok name ten that are just as good.

is ther a machine to make vhs moives to dvd. if there is does anybody know where to get one and can any dvd brake the code.

brutass
yes they are HVS/DVD palyers they have VHS on one side and DVD on the other and they cna record from VHS to DVD.

Anydvd is a solid program combined with DVD Shrink. I find both to be, when coupled, superb programs.

The end result is never a disappointing failure like these other movie burning programs out there.

Sony should be sued, for illegally installing root kit on your pc. Then, to take it out, you have to virtually perform a pc surgery. Fuggers.

I commend slysoft for their efforts!

remember AnyDVD protects you from rootkit

not to change the thread but, how could one know if they had installed one of these copy protection mech.s, root kit or other such b.s.? and how could one find it on their pc to destroy it?
i have heard that they can put some kind of app. into a movie file, which will create hvoc with your pc, burning software and even burner.
i thought it wasn't allowed. them being all powerful must let them get away with crap like that.
i am but a lowly citizen who can ill afford to pay their exorbanant prices for movie's or to buy a thousand cd's to hear my favorite artists sing me the blues. if i had their money i could, or is it theirs?
and i am a movie addict, witdrawal is tough, especially when they got ya hooked. methadon for movie addiction is costly.

You can go here and get a program called rootkit revealer to find out if you have sony's rootkit crap on your computer.

This is a free program so you should be able to display the link.

My 2 cents...........some of us DO BUY our dvds, whether it be new, previously used, etc. What is wrong with letting our kids view backups??? $.50 vs $10 or more. I purchased, they are MY family. OMG, do you people actually have kids????????

1. Lets see, eat pizza and handle dvd at same time.
2. Dvd doesn't quite get put in correctly, flipper dvd.....scratched on both sides.
3. Oh, did we forget what cases are made for?????

I could go on and on. I also have their friends (in their 20's) ask me to make backups of their originals. I have to wash them before I will let them anywhere near my computer. I warn that due to the condition it may be impossible. Of course, they also get the lecture on how to properly care for their dvds.

thePrez........wow, unbelieveable.

How long has AnyDVD been protecting our computers from Rootkits? That alone would justify the cost of it, if nothing else. Also, what is the indication you have a rootkit in your computer, other than not being able to back-up your perticular DVD?

Let Sony put a Rootkit on my computer, I will sue them to kingdom come.

I think that media involvement, will create a media circus, and a rockus loud enough, for Sony to feel humiliation towards their ILLEGAL practices.

Yes, it is illegal to damage someone's property, so who's going to jail, that's the real question.

@ hot_ice

I hope you have deep pockets in order to sue Sony individually. That would be pretty tough.

Class action is the only chance us poor people have.

Perhaps, but I am one persistent son of a bitch, I promise you that.

And besides, any lawyer, contingency wise, would jump on the opportunity to make money.

So "f" Sony, to Japanese corporate hell.

Slysoft is the Best...It will also work with Decrypter if you change some settings to allow it to do so.Clone DVD is a fine program too... Some of the best Dual Layer burners are from Sony. I bought the DRU-820A DVD/CD Rewritable Drive unit. Many of the DVD play back decks of just a little more than a year ago don't play dual layer very well or at all.Sony's DVP-NS45P plays them perfectly....I picked up this jewel a Sam's Club for $63.88. And Thanks again Slysoft....You are the Best.....

"ckwan, then you have a bad/scrathed dvd then ,this is an older movie which shouldnt cause any problems with encryption".

I thought about that too. The strange thing is when I played back the original, every thing looked fine. When I copied it, there was always a section of the movie missing. I tried it several time and I got the same problem.

AnyDVD now removes DRM rootkits,WE ALL KNEW THAT,{RIGHT}?

Cures for Sony and Macrovision DRM infections

By Charlie Demerjian: Monday 17 April 2006, 07:03
I HAVE BEEN drooling over the inherent goodness of AnyDVD for quite a while, and it just added another killer feature.

Starting with last week's release, 5.9.5.6, the program will remove CD DRM infections and corporate malware disguised as copy protection.

Since the virus scanning companies apparently had their silence bought by the media mafia, someone had to stand up and be counted, and it looks like Slysoft is that someone.

Basically, any of the root-kitting malware from Sony, and the newer root-kitting-ish Macrovision CDS-300 system software will be removed for you. Corporate evil removed, happy users can play the CDs like any old red book audio, it just works.

I can't recommend this program enough, check it out here. µ

great info ireland ,as always

this thread has gotten extremely informative over the past couple weeks... like i had no idea that the guy responsible for DVD Shrink is also the guy responsible for nero's recode... i use both but where i've gotten so use DVD Shrink i believe i use it more... and another point addressed in this thread that had crossed my mind as well.... slysoft being located on a tiny island in the carribean... thats great news.... may they last forever!!! and another thing (off the subject) im glad you banned th@ asshole that was too stupid to go and find burning software... bashing AnyDVD... he didnt know what he had... one thing is certain in this world... there is no shortage idiots.. *back to the subject* (this thread being informative) i had no idea about the mechs.... but i do have the comfort in knowing that slysoft is taking care of that for me... thanks slysoft!!! and thanks afterdawn!!!

So far I've been enjoying Slysoft's AnyDVD and use it occasionally along with Nero. Now that AnyDVD can copy protected cds I feel confident buying a cd knowing I'll be able to rip it. I think AnyDVD was the best investment I did the past year. Without Afterdawn I don't know where I would be.

I have been using AnyDVD for several years. I consider it a superb program and worth every peny. So far, for me it has been aptly named AnyDVD, since I have not yet encountered a DVD it has not been able to handle.

Oh, there have been times when I have had difficulties... the Studio Ghibli "Princess Mononoke" was particularly difficult, with a portion at the biginning coming out blank when first backed-up, but an AnyDVD update fixed that... there was another, can't recall which title, that required another update, but so far, it has always come through.

I am no expert by any extent, but have been backing up DVDs for a couple of years. When the DVDs are small enough, as is the case with many titles from outside the U.S. (they don't seem to feel the need to load up the DVD with extras) I burn directly using CloneDVD with AnyDVD running in the background. When it is a U.S. release (huge, usually), I use ShrinkDVD with AnyDVD in the background to rip and then burn with CloneDVD. This has never failed me and I get the most quality.

Thanks Elby and Slysoft for their super, SUPERB software.

BTW, IMHO idiots like thePrez are attention seekers who get their kicks by being disruptive. They cannot get attention, do not know how to garner attention, in a positive manner. They are the class clowns who could not learn how to spell because they spent too much time being jerks. They are best dealt with by ignoring them and not giving them the attention they so much desire... although banning seems to be an effective alternative...

I tried a trial version of AnyDVD about a year ago and its great, for 30 days. I personally prefer to use, DVD Decrypter, DVD Shrink, Nero and finally DVD Fab for Disney, or any other problem disks, "Very Simple.”. I just love the functions on DVD Decrypter. It’s Great for reading and writing iso's, and xiso's if you backup X BoX games. There's no doubt that it has problems with Disney disks, and that’s were I use DVD Fab Decrypter. I don't like how DVD Fab places your raw files, because you have to go back and rename the folder the files are in.

Sometimes I have two DVD Decrypters running, and at the same time up to five DVD shrinks running all at once. I had to upgrade my RAM, though. I make sure to; with Shrink to enable deep analysis, and high quality error compensation "sharp" and back up to iso image file. I do this to avoid conflicts with ensuring of locking volume for exclusive access to my burner when it comes to burning with DVD Decrypter. Another benefit is if you want another Back Up and you have 15 minutes your set. I save the iso image files for a while sometimes, and erase the raw file immediately after encoding. So when I wake up in the morning I have several iso's on my hdd ready to burn, boom boom boom.

Dvd Decrypter is always available while using BEARSHARE. I do recommend that when you install DVD Decrypter, "It asks you if you want it to check for updates every time you load it check the box NO!" I've read that Sony bought the rights; Trouble.

As far ass the mysterious, secret software installed by Sony DVD’s; I tried the software mentioned above http://www.sysinternals.com/utilities/rootkitrevealer.html
and found no trace, after 300 + DVD’s, it doesn’t seem like much of a problem to me, though I’ve heard about it before.

If someone would elaborate a little on this CDS-300, I must not have any cd’s new enough to have encountered it perhaps. Cough, Cough, BearShare, Cough

Hope this is helpful, I'm gonna try the latest Slysoft, and get back. If I remember correctly it was faster, but quality is what matters. Gone!

I had no Idea that it removed the rootkit that is totally worth the price tag.
