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. It is capable of removing unwanted movie features, including subtitles and prohibition messages such as copyright and FBI warnings. It also allows you to launch an external application whenever you insert or remove a disc, or prevent 'PC-friendly' software from automatically launching when you insert a video DVD.

Decryption is not all that AnyDVD offers. You can control the drive speed of your DVD drive, allowing you to reduce the noise level when watching movies on your PC. You can even adjust the display frequency of your monitor for both NTSC and PAL displays. It also decrypts protected audio CDs to allow you to copy them.

    Still very good but to be honest I can't remember the last time I used it.

    With no small children anymore DVDs last just fine & with falling costs in real terms it's hardly worth the time & effort.

    BluRay discs seems to be of better plastic than DVDs & seem to last well.

    Maybe I'm getting old? :-)

    I have better things to do with my time than copy DVDs/BR's print labels out for the boxes etc. Quite a few (backup's) I made a few years ago don't play well due to dye issues.

    @Input Overload,
    I too have tried many applications over the years. Indeed I go as far back as the infamous 321 Studios apps (still have legit copies, simply have to do an offline install after winding back the clock to Nov'03). Yet, first found them on a Warez site ( which interestingly had a link to BN), liked them so much I purchased a variety of their offers, and they were horrendously expensive. Still have a legit copy of their (well, whomever the publisher was) of DVD X Platinum 5.03, which remains a fine stand alone 4.7gb cloner, if only for making copies of already decrypted movies.
    Have been a user of 123 Copy DVD since 2006, I Click etc since about the same time, DVD Fab again same time. And, like yourself several others no doubt.
    I guess the issue here is the quality of what is offered with this app, me I have no reservations whatsoever.

    I have just about tried all such programs & I still feel that AnyDVD is the best, you of course may think differently.

    @Feng Tao "Anyway, speaking of DVDFab, no doubt they will reverse engineer the latest release from Slysoft, and release their pretend update in due course."
    You are quite right buddy they have just released DVDFab 8.1.5.2 Qt Beta, which will no doubt be published here in due course.
    This is more than a case of monkey see monkey do, perhaps Slysoft could use SOPA to remedy the issue LOL.

    Flawless, notwithstanding the contrary claims by our resident troll.

    What problem are you having? I have a system with both a BLuRay burner and a Samsung Lightscribe enabled drive and have ran into no problems thus far. I did notice there is a new LS software, ver 1.18 out that I've downloaded but haven't tried yet but so far I haven't ran into any problems with 1.17.9
