Great Program. . . Keep it up slysoft

---

ANYDVD is simply the BEST.....PERIOD!

Well I have to agree, SlySoft is the bomb, but since the discount for AFTERDAWN is invalid, I will have to wait till they offer a discount, hubby would really complain at the actual price now.

thanks for info on 321 gone. how do you use it??

If you are backing up with DVD X Copy Xpress (only) after it has copied files to hard drive and right before you put the blank in to burn; you click on 321 Gone and it strips out the watermark and warnings that 321 Studios places on the burnt disc. Leaving a pristine copiable disc if it was a good burn.

AnyDVD 6.0.5.0 failed me on backing up
house season 2
disc 1 & 6

had to use ripit4me along with fixvts

its nice to have a backup plan (and free at that)

@jsh420

Did you try anyDVD's ripper? Just curious. Not much AnyDVD can't do. And strange just on 1 and 6 disc.

---

JSH420, did you clean the discs that didn't copy? Also, check the read/write speed on those two discs, maybe they required more compression.

---

no i did not use a slysoft ripper

i use Nero recode or shrink

recode if i want it fast or shrink for better quality

with AnyDVD running both failed after about 20 sec.

but(with AnyDVD off) when i ripped with dvd dycypter then used the fixvts
both shrink and recode could compress

If the read went ok, but the write failed after only 20 seconds, it seems like the write is not keeping up with the video streaming. This is a good way to generate coasters.

When this happens with AnyDVD, I try a different program, such as DVDfab at Slow Speed.

AnyDVD and clone, nothing better, nothing easier, I'm a computer dummy, and if I can master it anybody can.

Garmoon and others who've used Xcopy,

I too have had good success using Xcopy with AnyDVD running in the background, however someone in an earlier thread answered a speed problem I was having (trying to use 8x media with Xcopy express)by offering Xcopy would only work with 1x to 4x media. Because of that posting, since then I've only used 4x media (Verbatim Movie Reel usually, but it is getting harder to find) when I'm using Xcopy.

Has anyone had good success using 16x media with Xcopy?

I've used AnyDvd's ripper with CloneDvd2 and not had any problem, but it is a little more time consuming with the different steps involved, etc.

I too am a huge fan of AnyDVD, however CloneDvd2 is their only other program I use. I would never buy their other programs just to "support them", if I had no use for the individual program itself!!

@Husker13

I don't use DVD X copy Xpress any more. Haven't for years, since DRMs crapped it up. Once in a while I'll check to see if it can open a disc and rip one, but don't burn them. I consistently use Nero Recode for 5GB discs and now new ImgBurn for doing DL (9GB) discs. Great program that LightninUK has put out.

Edit: I can't imagine why Xpress won't use 8&16X media. It should just burn them a 4X.

SCAMPER

its not the burn that fails its the rip/compression

@jsh420

If you want quality you should be using NeroRecode in the advanced analysis and high quality(slow encoding)modes checked. A better quality product than Shrink and faster.

does AnyDVD work with dvdx copy 321

It should. Try it and see. If it doesn't, just use AnyDVD to rip to hard drive. Then transcode with DVD Shrink (into an ISO) and burn with ImgBurn.

I don't know why any user would have trouble with DVDxcopy using an 8X blank media. I use it all the time with 8X media. Could be a burner problem. ?? Of course Any DVD does the job of making the copy possible. I love the constant updates. I never saw a company work harder for its money than slysoft.

Well said Zathrus, i'll drink to that. Slysoft for president!

I love AnyDVD. Little bugger is unnoticeable, but does a superb job without needing any user interaction. Only things I have against it are:
1. price (it's three times as much as I'd be willing to pay, so I only use it until it expires)
2. wyndoze only. I'll have to play with libdvdcss. Oh well, more savings = more work.

SlySoft any DVD can NOT cut it with most major dvd's. I have their newest version and time and time again, I can not copy the major brands- waste of time and money.... In order to correspond to them you must devulge the title and your personal data- just exactly what a S-T-I-N-G operation needs.... think about it....

i disagree with you,i have done all the titles out..with CloneDVD and AnyDVD..there is not a movie i can not copy..
i just did Talladega Nights and All The Kings Men...

if ye have a problem with the programs ye system most be toast or you do not know what your doing or how to use the programs..
i would like to know the program your using..

also i been using CloneDVD and AnyDVD since day one.and i did use dvdxcopy when they were a good program..as a beta tester..
and i been testing CloneDVD and AnyDVD..with win-98,xp and windows 2000..

mayday49 I don't know what you have been doing, but I have never found AnyDVD to not be able to work on any, even the most obscure films. Coupled with CloneDVD I know folks who have burned over 1,000 dvds. Your having either hardware problems or not using your software properly, perhaps it was improperly installed.

@mayday49

What are you smoking? AnyDVD will do any movie available! Just because your machine or your proceedures aren't working, don't trash the program when it's working for everyone else, whose machines are clean and know what they are doing. NOOBs?

Bah Humbug, Merry Christmas to all.

I have had both DVDfab Platinum and AnyDVD/CloneDVD for two years. Both work just fine. I had a movie that had small scratch in it. The latest copy of AnyDVD/CloneDVD wouldn't copy it. After three trys, I switched to Version 3.040 of DVDfab Platinum and it copied the first time. There were some very brief hesitations on playback in one small period of the movie, but nothing that prevented me from watching my backup. I think both are great programs.

---

I haven't had any problems with AnyDVD either. It's decrypted everything I've thrown at it.

I AM freaking out a little now though. What mayday said about gathering information DOES make sense. I mean I had to use a credit card to buy it, which in turn gives them my name, addy, etc. Good way to find out who's pirating.

Got me buggin out here...
