AnyDVD - a MUST have

Slysoft makes many programs but by far the one that seems to be most valuable would be AnyDVD. AnyDVD allows the easy removal of any copy-protections and encryptions on any DVD. Thus giving you the ability to copy a DVD to your HDD. Also as soon as you insert a disc works in the background to remove the copy-protections, allowing you to easily backup the movie with the tool of your choice. Also, are you tired of watching those STUPID trailers and FBI warnings? Well your in luck because when you use AnyDVD it allows you the option to edit out these. It also includes many other features that I have not mentioned, but definitely worth the purchase.

It is pretty easy to get started, download a free trial(21 days free, No restrictions) of AnyDVD or purchase it for about $74.42. Which is a fair price when it comes down to "backing up your DVDs". This is an all around great program, I would give it a 5 out of 5 stars.

After downloading, simply install, and reboot. Once rebooted it should start up when you log in, try inserting a DVD to your DVD drive. If you want to rip this to your HDD, click on the AnyDVD tray icon and select "rip VideoDVD to Harddisk". It should automatically select the correct drive, if not simply select the drive with the DVD. Notice: that next to the DVD drive it will show the name of the DVD. Select the output folder, click start, and find yourself something else to do; it could take a while!

Just something to talk about... the trial version, although no restrictions, will not save your preferences after the program shuts down, so to avoid this just don't shut down. Simple as that.

But now you may be wondering with all this new technology, such as Blu Ray and HD-DVD (as of February 28 will no longer be in production) how to make copies of those discs for "backup". Well SlySoft has out done their selves again, by making an add on to be able to remove the protection from the Blu Ray Discs. SlySoft was the first to offer AACS circumvention that worked for any disc available; previous programs only cracked "compatible" discs using a database of known keys. On November 8, 2007, SlySoft claimed to have completely cracked BD+ (previously said to be unbreakable for "at least 10 years"). More to come about this AnyDVD HD add-on, which roughly costs about $44.58.
