AnyDVD allows you to copy any DVD movie directly onto your hard drive by bypassing its encryption codes designed to prevent disc ripping and working transparently with your operating system.
Slysoft was forced to close down last year due to legal threats over decryption licensing; now under new management it has returned with enhanced capabilities and features.
Copy Protection Removal
Handbrake and libdvdcss are very efficient at decrypting DVDs, but neither comes close to providing all-around solutions such as AnyDVD. This software can remove RPC region codes, CSS encryptions, UOPs protections as well as Disney X-project, Sony ArccOS copy protections without leaving a trail of copy protection behind – not to mention helping convert those files to high quality digital formats like MP4, MKV, AVI etc.
AnyDVD also features features to remove DVD extras and subtitles as well as block unwanted features like FBI warnings, copyright info or skipping previews from playing on your computer. Furthermore, AnyDVD allows for the complete removal of region codes for copying movies that make them viewable on any DVD player irrespective of their original region codes.
This program is regularly updated to support the newest DVD protection technologies, such as BD-Java and AACS copy protections. With an intuitive, easy-to-use interface that requires no prior technical knowledge, its fair licensing policy also merits note – no license key is needed, permitting use on multiple computers simultaneously, even working with 3rd party backup software for copying original discs without limitations to hard disk. In addition to that it also removes encryptions while ripping Blu-ray discs to VIDEO_TS folder for backup or burning to discs – another advantage over its competitors!
Disabling Unwanted Movie Features
AnyDVD software decrypts DVD movies as soon as they’re inserted in the drive, making them available for backup and copy with programs like CloneDVD and HandBrake or for ripping with HandBrake. Furthermore, AnyDVD works in the background to disable structural protection on audio CDs, enabling their ripping using virtually all CD extraction programs.
AnyDVD can be used to disable unwanted movie features like forced subtitles, prohibition messages and no-skip marks as well as ads and trailers. Furthermore, AnyDVD works to bypass Macrovision analog copy protection on video DVDs as well as defeat ‘PC-friendly’ software that may automatically launch when inserted.
AnyDVD provides another unique capability by replacing bad sectors on damaged discs due to scratches or other reasons, enabling programs like Elaborate Bytes’ CloneDVD to successfully make copies without trying to copy bad sectors which would otherwise result in errors or an unplayable copy.
AnyDVD for Windows can be downloaded and used as a free trial version, though a valid licence key must be purchased from SlySoft to continue working after its trial period has concluded. When purchasing AnyDVD you can choose either 64-bit or 32-bit installation depending on your personal requirements.
Speed Adjustment
This option allows you to adjust drive read speed, which may come in handy if your computer or DVD player are slow. While using this feature may reduce backup performance slightly but won’t compromise accuracy of process.
This section allows you to configure various settings for your drive(s). For instance, you can choose which language AnyDVD should use at startup and whether to show an information window and balloon tip when discs are detected in the tray. Furthermore, hidden icons can be enabled or disabled, and lists of drives when selecting output files can also be displayed as options for you to configure.
AnyDVD is a Windows application designed to quickly enable access to movie DVD or Blu-ray media as soon as it’s inserted in your drive, making it compatible with DVD/Blu-ray backup software like CloneDVD and CloneBD. AnyDVD works by disabling Disney, Sony and Macrovision copy protection systems and allows ripping to your hard disk in various formats (MKV being one option) plus fixing structural prevents for smooth performance with third party tools like DVD Shrink or Nero Recode.
File Transfer
AnyDVD’s Ripper feature provides an additional service by ripping DVD content to folder structure on your hard drive, making the files easier for backup purposes and compatibility with ImgBurn, CloneDVD, and other ripping programs such as ImgBurn or CloneDVD. Furthermore, AnyDVD removes Sony ARccOS Protection and Macrovision RipGuard structural copy prevention while fixing both intentional and unintentional tracking errors on audio CDs.
This feature of AnyDVD is useful, yet does not eliminate the need for other programs. When using this method to rip DVDs, they’re divided up into individual tracks without copying over their playlist information – something which other ripping programs such as MakeMKV and DVD Fab do very effectively – they work very well with AnyDVD too!
AnyDVD is an ideal solution for anyone seeking to digitize and portability their physical movie collection. It features an intuitive user-interface, as well as several useful features that set it apart from other decryption tools. In addition, its licensing terms offer fair licensing terms – you will receive a 21-day trial that’s tied specifically to your computer before having the option of buying the license without an annual subscription or activating online – something rare among computer software programs.
