I'm quite bummed, to be honest. For years, I've been a fan of anydvd, and it really did its job excellently. Now, for reasons beyond my comprehension, it's been out of commission for the past couple of months. I'm kind of at a loss about handling my DVDs, since it was such a reliable tool. I noticed some alternatives at the bottom of this page, like DVD43, DVDFab HD Decrypter, DVDFab Passkey, MakeMKV. Guess I'm going to have to give them a shot. Still, it's quite a blow.

Been using AnyDVD for at least 16 years. Great product then and still one now. Worth the money even after buying a new license.
Slysoft went out of business 7 and a half years ago. It's unfortunate and definitely wasn't fun for anyone but some people need to get over it and move on with their lives.

How long before this company hits problems and blows out his loyal customer basis again? That said very good software, but worth the money if you need it or not if you were a former customer with a 'Lifetime License!'

The fact of payments bouncing and problems is enough for me to keep well away from this company however selling works; plus it's track record of ripping off previous 'Lifetime Customers!'

I wanted to edit my previous review to include this but I couldn't, so I'm leaving a new review.
Previously I had a problem with the payment system for buying this, never actually getting the payment request to my bank. It wasn't that my bank blocked it, it's that the bank never even received the payment request. However, since that review they changed their payment system, so it worked this time (though I did need to go to my bank's website and authorize the payment, because my bank marked it as a suspicious transaction, and then go back through the RedFox website's payment system again to actually make the purchase). And yes, the software works great.
The only reason that it received less than 10 stars for overall score, is because the payment system still bounces you through several webpages before landing on the page you actually enter the final payment info on. This could lead some people to think it's a scam (and it's this appearance of being a scam, that cost it 2 stars for its overall rating), even though it's actually legit software and the payment system actually works. I get why they do this though. Because DVD decryption software is in a legal gray area, banks don't want to process payments for such software, so by redirecting you through a series of other sites, it disguises what the payment is actually for when the bank processes the payment.

Great software (I tried it in trial mode), but HORRIBLE payment system. As ripping DVDs is considered borderline illegal, software for doing so is considered in a legal gray area, and as such Paypal (or even credit cards) won't do business with the makers of AnyDVD. So they setup some hacky payment system that redirects you though like 10 different webpages, where the last page in the sequence is the one where you put in your credit or debit card info (in order to hide from credit card companies, where the money is actually going). And it seems that at least my bank caught onto that scheme, because when I clicked the button to submit the payment, the payment never went through. And I didn't get the registered version of the software. I still have, to this day, the expired trial version on my computer.
I wish there was a place in this review UI for me to mark my rating for the payment system, because I would give them a NEGATIVE ONE THOUSAND STARS rating for their payment system. The software is excellent. It's the best DVD decryption software that exists (and as far as I know, the only one that decrypts on-the-fly as a device driver, while accessing a DVD in Windows Explorer), so I gave it full 10 stars in all software-rating categories. However, that is all negated completely by the HORRIBLE payment system (which, at least with my bank, literally doesn't even work), so in overall score I gave it 1 star. I'd have given it 0 stars (or less) if possible though.
For software version I put N/A, because this review is really not about the software at all. It's about the payment system that the company uses. WORST PAYMENT SYSTEM EVER. It literally CAN'T EVEN PERFORM A TRANSACTION, at least with the bank I use.

Amazing how reviews praising this software are mostly new customers or fake stating satisfaction etc. Be a different story if they were one of the very many who had been scammed by these tricksters! Let's see how your enthusiasms will last when 'new Slimysoft incorporated' do the same to you, if it is closed down and your lifetime subscription is worth zero!
As for the software just a continuation of a once great company. Actually it is good software in essence, but the lack of honour and the cheating factor of previous customers loyalty + money make this a big zero from me.

@spinr: The "BUDA" folders are usually created by certain media devices which are capable of accessing BD-Live content like TVs or BluRay players. These folders will be created automatically if not already there and then used for trailers, announcements or whatever is being downloaded via the live feature. Kind of annoying, but nothing to worry about.

The 1st mistake Redfox did was to use Slysofts program name. Especially since they apparently had no intention of honoring previous licenses. They should of made that clear and most of the problems wouldn't of been. Two companies, two somewhat different software packages.
There are more comments here about the battle between the two companies than anything else

First off is that I don't work for AnyDVD (Redfox), I don't have any problems with the software and I have been using it for years, sure I had to pay again for it but the software has saved me more times and money then I know so it is well worth the money in my opinion, not sure why some people are having problems, I used my credit card and my credit card company called me to verify the transaction so no problem there, I also used to use DVDFab but AnyDVD is much better and a lot easier to use in my opinion, So instead of criticizing the software maybe people should see if the problem lies on their end, again this is just my opinion which everyone is entitled too.

Just to add to my previous review below. I finally managed to buy myself an AnyDVD HD license. So I'm really pleased. There was no way I was going to be able to buy using my Credit cards as everytime it was refused payment for some unknown reason. I decided I'd have to buy using BitCoin and I found a website called Coinbase which is really easy to buy BitCoin. I just had to upload a pic of my Driving License and do some verifying of my email address and phone number ect. I also got a total of 30% off the price of a AnyDVD license so it really was a bargain.
I used AnyDVD years ago and it decrypted every DVD I had flawlessly and now I'm using it again to help me backup my Blu-rays. I hope Redfox don't get shut down like Slysoft did. I've got a 2 year license so hopefully they'll keep going for another couple of years.
I recommend you buy a license now if you haven't got one for AnyDVD yet as it's 20% off up until 10th Feb and another 10% off if you use BitCoin to pay.

I'm also one of those who bought lifetime licences for both, Redfox and Slysoft, and I do not regret. The software works great and the support is very quick. Therefore 10 points for the score.
Selling something with the attribute lifetime is dangerous as we all can see here and also on Redfox' own forum. Lifetime means tghe lifetime of the product, not yours. The reason I have chosen lifetime was the price. Why not buy lifetime for 10$ more than a 4-year-licence if I plan today to use it that long? All educated people should be aware that lifetime is more a marketing strategy than a business model. It is a snowball system. If you don't sell enough licences to get income and the money is empty they have to close down the business. And if I still have the need for such a software I will happily rebuy a new licence.

I bought full lifetime AnyDVD license from Slysoft then full lifetime license for AnyDVD HD. It worked fantastic and was updated nearly on a weekly basis. After being closed down I was thrilled to find out it was brought back and hosted in another country calling it Redfox AnyDVD. I bought the lifetime license of Redfox AnyDVD and could not be more ticked off. Updates are rare and LESS THAN HALF MY DISCS CAN BE BACKED UP. CONSTANT ERRORS NOW. I see the forums with comments like this and they quickly disappear now or answered with an excuse not good enough for me to believe. I've changed to as few different brands, tried it on different computers and bought 2 new burners. All the older discs work great. The newest DVD's since second quarter 2018 rarely can be backed up now, and yes it is due to AnyDVD not the physical burner or backup software. So yes I was a die hard AnyDVD fan until around April 2018 - it simply is not keeping up with the new encryption anymore on US discs. I loved it so I hope they get it together at Redfox soon! 12/24/18

I'm neither working for RedFox nor do I get any Benefits from them. I have had a Lifetime License from Slysoft, and had to buy one again from RedFox. I wasn't too pleased either to pay again, but in the end I decided to get a new License, because the program worked perfect for me.
If they wouldn't have founded Redfox, and simply discontinued the Software, we all would have nothing, because SlySoft was busted by the authorities and had to close shop.
And after all, nobody was forced to buy a new License. The old License was still good for the latest SlySoft Version.
If you don't want it, don't buy it, period. But AnyDVD is still the best on the market, and I'm glad it's still on the market and updated.

The company is wretched and will steal your credit card details if one is foolish to buy it. Details end up in China or someplace when you purchase said software. Dodgy!

If someone doesn't like that some ex-employees have kept the Software alive, they don't have to buy it again.One can always try to find software which is as good as this one. Good Luck

This company would have kept credibility if it had honoured existing customers' Lifetime Licences,' after all it took and is still keeping the product name which it reportedly kept on from last company-ex-employees made up this new scumbag enterprise. Imagine Microsoft goes bust(a nice thought!) and a few employees resurrect it keep same name/products, trade as it, but renege on existing lifetime commercial contracts and screw over every home user with new costs etc. Would be sued to kingdom come!

all my credit card info was sent there i contacted redfox and was told they did not receive the order i called my credit card issuer and had to get a replacement card issued so buyer beware

Yes, it was a great program and all that jazz, but what we have here is the integrity of a company which despite claiming it closed down is still using the product name and is run by ex employees as well as charging old customers to use its product which they had already paid for.

From the trial version downloaded directly from their site (I can't afford the sky high price of this software), there are issues with "Contacting license server", and it sometimes just crashes. But when it works, it generally works well.
I do wish they would update the price listed on this site though. It isn't $60, and that's misleading. It's actually around $130 USD, $170+ AUD.
I guess they are expecting to be shutdown at some point so they are doing a massive money grab before that happens. I feel for the people that got ripped off, but considering what AnyDVD is for, this should be no surprise. Same sort of exploitative mentality as DeUHD.

AnyDVD still does the job it has always done and does it well.
With respect to those complaining about the EOL on Slysoft licenses, after pressure was put on Slysoft for a long time things took a turn and the owner of Slysoft closed up shop. The full story on exactly what happened at the end has still not been made public. When the owner quits then everything evaporates. The lifetime licenses evaporated with this event. The question was posed to interested users if the remaining staff should continue the project. The answer was yes and many users had no issue paying again. Did everyone want to? No. Was it needed in light of changes required and part of that was building up the lost internal structure of the company and all without a financial backer. Just like those complaining about things I lost my own lifetime licenses. When this happened I looked at things logically. I purchased replacement licenses from RedFox and are happy that they have continued on where Slysoft ended. In summation, what happened sucks but it happened. Slysoft shut down in February 2016. It's now May of 2018. It's been over 2 years. It's time to move on.

'No honour amongst thieves' as the saying goes. Ex employees? trade under the same name, but don't honour previous customers life paid licences. Despicable company!

This company changed there name and does not honor paid lifetime subscriptions that were made prior to them changing the company name. It is a good program but don't be scammed into thinking you will never have to pay again.

Break piece of software, but I won't use it niw(other than a trial if I'm desperate and I'm not) because they are a dishonourable lot of cowboys. Trading under the name of a company which was previously forced to close, then resurrecting it with the same product name, but NOT honouring those customers who had bought a lifetime license, yet apparently ex employees are running the show. Sounds a rogue outfit to me if not illegal in some business sense which they don't have!

Very sneaky company. I had the lifetime licence, but since the company's rising like a phoenix from the ashes re-emergence to avoid prosecution, any old loyal customer has to repurchase a new licence, yet this shi#*y offspring is more or less still operating as Slysoft and drawing in that old user base. They deserve all they get! In any case the software code is less stable than before and the only advantage is cinavia removal for the blu rays. I now use windvd copy pro instead for my dvd's or the last version of anydvd which works with my key, if needed.

Switched their company name to avoid prosecution so I hear. Unfortunately they did not stay loyal to the Slysoft customer/follower base, especially the ones that paid for a lifetime license, Redfox may have seen the company name change as an opportunity to drop all the Sylsoft lifetime licenses and have these customers repay a new lifetime license with Redfox. Sleezy business practice.

The review by Backpain below was quite true as this used to be exceptional software, but unfortunately since the Slysoft's demise and resurrection by former employees the standards have slipped and it has considerable trouble with latest protection of releases. Redfox or whatever it is called now is no Slysoft!

Latest version handled The Hangover2 (Blu Ray and DVD versions) without any trouble or issue. I've used this along with CloneDVD2 for the last 5 years to decrypt regular DVDs almost flawlessly each and every time, and the few times there was any problems, a update to AnyDVD solved the problem (such as the Thor issue and Captain America recently).
I've got this (and all the other Slysoft suite of programs) on my Win 7 Ultimate PC, my Win 7 Home Preminum laptop, and even my Vista Home Basic laptop. I'd advise anyone that hasn't tried out AnyDVD or the other Slysoft stuff to take the 21 day trial to see if you like it or not.

Bryant70b: I use AnyDVDHD several times a week for years, never had a problem, even now with bluray discs. I suggest your issues are operator error or bad media. How do you rate ease as 5 when you don't even have to click the icon, it runs behind the scenes automatically. Doesn't make sense.

dtrell is an idiot! He gives the software a 1 out of 10 for functionality and value because all the betas are not available if you never paid for the software. Some balls, the cheap SOB has. This is great software, nothing like it. It works on everything, DVD, BD and HDDVD and if a new protection pops up, it's usually beat in a day or two. If you shell out the money, you can get it for life, all the betas for free thereon forever. Morons like that should keep their comments to themselves. With that logic, Ferraris suck because he won't pay for one.

Agreed Hemlock, there is nothing else quite like it out there. It takes some calgiones to give it a 1 of 10 for functionality because the free trials don't get all the beta updates.

Betas are betas and this one has single-handedly culled the list of unsupported BD+ discs that had piled up recently. The software functions beautifully, as always.
There's no reason to push out official updates every week or two. Registered users don't need to worry, anyway, since they can use the betas. The only people who have an issue with official releases spaced apart by more than 21 days are the people who haven't bought the software and if they buy it there won't be a problem.
AnyDVD/AnyDVD HD is an excellent piece of software. Using it involves little technical knowledge since it does all the work and makes it look effortless when what is does is anything but simple. No other program can compare to what AnyDVD does for standard defintion DVDs, HD-DVDs, or Blu-Ray releases.
Two thumbs up!

It should be noted when beta versions are posted that with a recent change only existing registered users can use the beta releases. I believe this has been in effect for at least a month. Nonetheless, trial users of the software can only make use of official releases and not beta releases.

This tool is simply one of the easiest and most updated products that I have ever found. There has only ever been one other tool that I thought this highly of, and that was DVD-D*. If the author of the afore mentioned program went to SlySoft, he would easily be a millionaire. SlySoft has, by far, impressed me with the ease of use and functionality of it's astounding program that I will be purchasing their product for myself for Christmas. With their 20% off special, that makes the program just under 50$ US currency. Well worth the cost. Well worth the applause.

Yes, it is expensive. I can't disagree. It is a huge price to pay just to get my Blu-Ray and HD-DVD discs to play nicely without the HDCP complications.
However, it is updated seemingly every 2-3 days, continuously getting around newer methods that would make it inoperable. Unlike the free competitor (which didn't work at all for me), this product actually WORKS, works well, is updated, and the software vendor actually CARES about the clients in order to keep it working. That alone is a big deal in my book.
If you want to complain, complain about the HDMI/HDCP implementations which are so very limiting to people who pay good money for movies.
I'm using my copy of this to play back BR&HDDVD movies via Nero Showtime on my Dell 3008 monitor -- all while keeping my monitor resolution at 2560x1600. I've also used it to rip BRs & HDDVDs for discless playback. I'd note that on some discs, playback on difficult disc RIPS can sometimes work better if you navigate to the actual movie file instead of trying to play the 'disc' via the main menu. (this is not a fault of AnyDVDHD as the same issues crop up with the disc -- it's the fault of the varying disc protection schemes which make things difficult for a software player like Nero Showtime)

You know people are complaining about the price but they could have done what I did a couple of years ago. Bought the software for a lot less $ and I have been getting new updates for free since. Not many companies do that anymore. Most of the time when they change versions they get you for an upgrade. I think for even what they are charging now it is a great deal. I think that ANYDVD and CLONEDVD are some of the greatest softwares out there. Keep up the good work!!

Secondly, the price is for a LIFETIME license, a LIFETIME license complete with future upgrades! AND this software continues to work, year after year. Give me a break about the price guys.

I suppose it's nice to be the author of a piece of software that has no competition. To set the price to $130 USD and not even offer a retail box, documentation, or even a CD is greedy beyond it's value. Do NOT pay that kind of money for this software.
I don't advocate piracy but prices like this make me wish I had.
As far as functionality goes, it works great and does what it says. My short-lived trial is now over and the software fails to work. It's been disabled and I will not pay $130 and I suggest you don't either. With a little patience, I'm sure a reasonably priced application with appear on the market. I'd have no problem paying $75 for this, but not $130. While I wait I'm going to go to every software review site that I can and let other's know NOT to buy this overpriced utility.

These comments are about AnyDVD HD.
This is one of the few tools currently available (as at June 2008) which claim HD (Blu-ray & HD-DVD) decryption capability; and is also one of the tools which actually does what it claims. Where DVDFabHD failed to even 'see' my HD drive (LG GGC-H20L), AnyDVD HD had no such problem and successfully decrypted Blu-ray and HD-DVD discs to my HDD.
HD decryption functionality is effectively limited to 'entire disc' decryption. Considering the cost of purchasing the HD version of AnyDVD, it's not unreasonable to expect a bit more flexibility such as a 'movie only' option.
Price cannot be described as being any less than exorbitant when HD decryption functionality is so limited. But as I was over a barrel, I had no choice but to purchase this tool (I purchase ALL the software that I use).

This may be great software, but this looks more like a greedy software writer to me.
Any DVD itself costs 49 Euro, the equivalent of $77 for a program that comes without packaging, shipping, distribution, etc. That is outrageously expensive when retail software product in a store in commercial packaging generally costs only about $50.
Second, the default "purchase" page on the author's website lists a 155 Euro bundle ($245, thank you very much), obligating you to remove the programs you don't want.
Now, I have no problem compensating authors fairly for their hard work. But being a little too greedy about it, makes me hesitate even considering rewarding this author's approach.
I'd just as soon buy a second DVD player to handle the region issue!

Unfortunately for those of us in the USA, Slysoft has dumped the dollar as their currency of choice and switched to the Euro. So now every time the dollar loses ground against the Euro in financial markets (which seems to happen almost daily nowadays), the price of AnyDVD HD goes up again. I don't see any end to this situation until or unless the FUBAR'ed USA economy gets fixed.

This program does a great job but the price is entirely too high. You cannot purchase AnyDVD now you have to purchase the AnyDVD-HD version. Also, the price is NOT $50 like it says here but rather around $115, which, in my opinion, is absolutely ridiculous even with lifetime upgrades.

Nice tool and I never had a problem with it. You can use it to decrypt DVD content. Just start it and copy the content of the DVD to your hard drive. AnyDVD will decrypt it while the files are copied by Windows.

Very handy software, Works seamlessly. I use with an external DVD Drive in a fan cooled enclosure and can backup directly to Nero Digital in Nero Recode with no intermediate file on HDD. Have not encountered copy protection problems (yet) looking forward to trying it with different encoders. At $40.00 USD it isn't cheap but saves time which isn't cheap either!

Fantastic item! I've been using this for over a year, best $40 I've spent! Get this if you want to archive your collection. It works invisibly with whatever prog you use( ripper, viewer).
I've used it with dvdshrink, DVDCrypter,etc. The trial is good for a couple weeks, and, once you purchase, UPDATES FOR LIFE!
every time there is a new protection scheme developed, I receive an e-mail from them when a solution is created. in the words of the Governator:"Go! Go NAH-W!"

Actually...AnyDVD IS something to get excited about.
For rippping new titles (to HDD) you need something to remove the newest protections.
AnyDVD and DVDFab Decrypter are two of the most updated apps
that can do this.
Even tho DVDFab Decrypter may be my favorite of the two... (by the slimmest of margins)
I use AnyDVD all the time.

Nothing worth getting excited about. When you backup a DVD, it's best to rip it to your hard-drive first, not read it on-the-fly. Not recommended.

When it comes to decryption for backup up your DVDs -- it just doesn't get any better than this. Concerned that some new protection will hit the street? Give it a day or two and AnyDVD is updated. Thse guys must not sleep.
Great software in my opinion.

Not impressed. Unable to rip some DVDs I was able to rip using DVDFab Decrypter which is free.
Might be useful for someone wanting to disable the region of DVDs in real time without having to rip the DVD.
Haven't backed up many audio CDs lately... Could be useful for that IF it works well.
For backing up DVDs, DVDFab Decrypter is free and the way to go. Decrypt with DVDFab Decrypter, shrink with DVD Shrink, burn with Nero.

Never has worked for me with audio-protection removal; it has never broken any protection. I have the wasted CDs to prove it.
Sometimes,I groan when yet another update is released because a new update sometimes comes within days of the last one. I have to woder if someone left the company or the company has outsourced its programming.
Bottom line, I think this product promises more than it delivers.

Well this is a first! They have broken it with the latest attempt to correct invalids VOBUs. I was backing up some older titles (Halloween 5 and 6) and began getting errors with Nero Recode importing the ripped files. I believe it has something to do with the note "Change: Removed replacement of error zones with "valid material", as it had undesired side effects with Nero Recode and RipGuard protected DVDs."
I un-installed the 5.7.x.x and re-installed 5.6.3.1 and everything works again. I usually update as soon as I see the notice either on this site or the Anydvd self check feature. I will be more cautitous before updating so quickly.

And now I can have just the movie AND menu chapters...yeah! Well worth it folks. Do it...do it. Hint..burn those DVDs only to 4300 and stutters go away...at least for me.

When combined with Clone DVD2, this program makes burning backup copies of dvd's a real snap. I have tried other more expensive programs but they don't work nearly as well as this pair! Works flawlessly in the background and does not use as many system resources as some other programs. I can burn a dvd and continue working with other programs!

This is a very nice and easy program to use. It bypasses all protection on DVDs. But i think it slows down PC performance and during the burning process. If you try to burn dvds, try to burn with burning software first and if it don't work due to protection on the DVDs then use AnyDVD. Just my 2 cent...

This is a nice tool, EASY, and does what it says it does. However, it seems to slow down my system. I am on an Athalon 3200+ with plenty of RAM. Even when I don't open any other process, DVD Rebuilder takes close to 600 minutes to backup a DVD (CCE 3 pass) when if I rip it to my hard drive (with DVD Fab) and backup with DVDRB it takes about 300 min (total including rip) for the same DVD. I don't know if others are experiencing this, or if it is just my system. I don't know if I'll purchase when trial is up, when there are free tools that allow me to rip and get the job done so much faster. One DVD was still backing up in the morning after I started it before bed.

It does not get much easier than this folks. I use to use the combination of Shrink and CloneDVD2 and thought I had it better than anyone else who backed up their movies; was I wrong! With Shink these days not being as reliable now with all of the new copy protection software out there I had to look for a more reliable alternative.
My search ended upon stumbling into AnyDVD...Its a great program, small and runs in the background. No need anymore to rip a movie and consume HD space. I now back-up straight to a blank DVD-R.

Some other configuration changes that occured at the same time I was trying this version, caused the DVD to be burned a too high a rate. Once that was corrected, AnyDVD worked FINE!

I have always seen everyone talking about dvd rip this decricpt that & region free bios flashes! What a real pain in the butt & I have tryed them. They are even more work than I thought they would be. From all the different settings (some I never figured out what they did) just to get the DVD on to the hard drive. Oh & do I seperate the sound & Video file or rip them to one file??!! Now you need to burn them to a disc. Well hope & pray you got the right sound track, sub titles & extras you want.
Its great to see others who like & use Anydvd & clonedvd2. I love these two. I think they are as close as you will ever get to a one botten copy.
My only problem I ever have is trying to make a copy & I cant because I forgot to turn on AnyDVD frist. Try watching a protected DVD on a HTPC output at 720p or 1080i to a HDTV without AnyDVD it only outputs at 480. You would have to rip the movie to a file everytime frist with a ripping program. I like Anydvd so much I buy it to give as X-Mas presents.
I burn a DVD-9 to DVD-5 in about 20 mins start to finish.(with Anydvd & Clonedvd) Another great thing is if Iam in a big hurry & wont have access to the DVD later & its a DVD-9 & I dont know what extras to cut or other things I may what to edit? With AnyDVD I just open windows explore & copy & paste the whole 7 or 8 Gb to the Harddrive & do it later. I get asked alot buy newbees & I always tell everyone Anydvd is easyest & the best. Next time I see them its a big old smile I see first.
I guess the thing that comes to mind is SLICED BREAD!

Even on the Forgotten, it worked like a champ; whereas Shrink and Decrypter both failed, once I activated AnyDVD they both worked. However, I won't upgrade until the issues with the new version are cleared up.

"If I copy DVD #1 with CloneDVD then remove the DVD and insert DVD #2, CloneDVD still thinks I have #1 in the drive and subsequently gets an error. Shutting down AnyDVD then restarting it fixes the issue for THIS DVD. Had not seen this problem is earlier versions."
On clonedvd forum Olli said it was a windows CDFileSystem problem. Funny that it just started showing up with the newest versions of AnyDVD.
Still the best software combination available backing up DVD's.

Other than that, AnyDVD/CloneDVD combo works wonderfully (I was using DVDD/CloneDVD until I ran into problems backing up my copy of the Forgotten-- AnyDVD fixed that right up. Great Program.

I've used XCopy Express & Platimum, DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink. AnyDVD with CloneDVD2 is easily the best combo I've tried. Once it's set up, you never need to access AnyDVD, it runs behind the scenes when you click CloneDVD. It is extremely fast and will even remove the Xcopy warning if you copy an Xcopy back-up (something you can't do with Xcopy). Also, and again without accessing it, you can play factory made movies on Windows Media player without using programs like VLC media player. I have back-up more that 100 movies without a single problem. I once received a message that it may not be able to decrypt the protection on an old copy of "once Upon a Time in America", but I tried it anyway and it decoded without a hitch. And it is so easy to use with CloneDVD, I can't say enough about it!

While AnyDVD is a great tool, especially with the new Drive speed control, it also trashed my Windows CDRom driver. It is either replaceing or adding hooks into the driver. When you try to un-install the application, your PC will no longer see any of your CD/DVD drives. Re-installing AnyDVD cured the problem, but now I have to live with the expired nag screen every time I start the PC!

Once in a while you come across small nifty programs that you just can't manage without - a program that REALLY makes a difference and makes life a lot more easy for you. AnyDVD is just such a tool - after 4 hours of use, I happily shelled out the USD 39. Best money I spent in a long time.
Forget about going through loads and loads of forums looking for that homebrew firmware that will make your DVD/DVDR(W) drive region free.
Never again worry about region codes, CSS and what have you - this little baby works transparently, doing on-the fly DeCSS, removing MacroVision as well. It has a lot of other features - take a look at: http://www.slysoft.com/en/anydvd.html
Might I add the following to the list:
- Non-obtrusive program installation
- Next-to-nothing overhead while running
- Small memory footprint (little over 3 Mb)
- Easy-to-understand menus
- Supports a lot of different languages (menus) - 19 right now
It just works and works and works. Yes, I might be able to patch together some kind of solution that would allow me to do the same things, using programs from different sources. But at the price of USD 39 - I really can't be bothered to look elsewhere when this does it all. Slysoft deserves every last cent :-)
Together with CloneDVD, this really packs a solid punch and makes back-up so hassle-free, even the wife could do it - hell, I even like the little fox icon in the toolbar :-)

It just works and works and works. Yes, I might be able to patch together some kind of solution that would allow me to do the same things, using programs from different sources. But at the price of USD 39 - I really can't be bothered to look elsewhere when this does it all. Slysoft deserves every last cent :-)
Together with CloneDVD, this really packs a solid punch and makes back-up so hassle-free, even the wife could do it - hell, I even like the little fox icon in the toolbar :-)

I used this very nice tool in the past w/o problems but since with latest DVD Shrink versions which remove macrovision, I don't use it anymore.

This tool rocks. I have been able to burn every dvd I have tried. No problems what-so-ever. This tool will even let you burn cd that have copy protection. It's worth the money.

EXCELLENT little program.
Why complain about the price - it does EXACTLY what it says on the tin.
Copying DVDs with this and CloneDVD is just a no-brainer!!
They'd get custom at DOUBLE the price!!

I downloaded the free trial but was unable to get the program to work. After an hour of trying different settings, I was still unable to play non region 2 discs. A pity as I was looking for an alternative to flashing my drive.

Recently discovered that you can play store bought DVD's using Windows Media Player v.9, with no other codec or additional software installed,while running AnyDVD. Verry Cool.
Great software...Works Great with Clone DVD

Excellent software. Works flawlessly everytime. One tip: Put your DVD in first and let it spin up to speed before your start AnyDVD. It has an easier time reading it that way.

This is the best software created!!! You can make it invisible so you dont even know its there.... You can even copy dvds from explorer and just burn the copyed files (if dvd is a dvd5 otherwise it will need to be compressed). If you are in the need to backup dvds then this is for you.... Well worth buying! Excellent Product... Even allow you to play dvd purchaced in other regions (this way you can still use you standard dvd player). This program also allows you to skip the FBI warning so you dont need to wait like 10min to watch your dvd...
Excellent Program! Keep up the G-R-E-A-T work.... :D

The best! For those having problems getting it to work, you click on the icon to load it in your system tray..
Thats it!
It automatically ID's your dvd and removes the CSS..
Love it because it runs in the background and doesn't use up to much cpu. With CloneDVD works flawlessly.
Takes a little time but hey, I got more time than money :-)

Use with CLONEDVD to make painfree DVD backups. Works exactly as it should. There is only one bad point about ANYDVD, the price!!! $40 is waaaaaaaay too much, I urge Slysoft to reconsider their pricing. $15 or $20 is more realistic. They'd sell a load more than double if they halved their price.
Use with CLONEDVD - see guide link below ---v

Finally I've found a reason to use CloneDVD. AnyDVD removes the copy protection from DVDs giving CloneDVD the functionality that DVDXCopy Xpress lacks (this is not a knock toward Xpress). My tool of choice is Xpress but if I need to copy an Xpress back-up this tool along with CloneDVD does the job fast and easy.

I down loaded the trial version , you know try before you buy, but unfortunately I couldnt get it to work. I could get it to launch an icon on the tool bar and that was about it. So I am disappointed I did not get a real chance to try it so I cant really rate it

I tried out AnyDVD and it worked with CloneDVD and DVD2One, but I found that InstantCopy still identified the DVD as CSS protected. My test disc was Starwars Episode II. Between identifying the Video and Audio titles Instantcopy picked up on the protection. Not sure why.... Overall a revolutionary idea, just might need some tweaking...

I have used this without any problems with CloneDVD, DVD2One & Instantcopy. So far it has worked flawlessy, I have also used it for watching region 1 & 2 DVD's with Power DVD 5 and again it worked perfectly.
Very nice utility, shame about the price.
