Hello, I am wondering about these 2 programs. I noticed that after I downloaded anydvd it asks to access the internet. Should I worry about the communication of any dvd. I seen an article about they can keep a record of what you record. Is this real or bogus? The clonedvd2 program is there a easy way to learn how to delete stuff on the dvd you don't want? I currently use shrink & decrypter(2 great programs), I learned them with the help of scuba Pete(fantastic member of afterdawn), and those 2 programs work great. So I was just wanting info on the other 2? Also I was thinking about dual layer burning, does decrypt and shrink work with dual layer burning? thanks mka Just a quick ? can either of these programs back up my xbox & ps2 games? Also am I correct in saying if I did back up video games I have to have a mod chip and there's no getting around that.
Hi mkaone, I haven't heard anything about AnyDVD trying to access the internet. If yours is doing that it must be something new. I have an older version and it doesn't do that. To edit out a dvd with CloneDVD2 is very easy. Just open the Clonedvd and pick clone complete dvd including titles and menue. The next screen is a preview window on the left and a list of everything on the dvd in the right side. As you click each line on the right it will play in the preview window. All lines have a box in front with a check mark in the box. If you play a line and don't want it to copy, just uncheck that line and go to the next one. Same thing with the audio track screen. Uncheck the language you don't want. Very simple. I'm not into games so I can't help much there. Jerry
AnyDVD is accessing the net to check for an update. To disable this go into AnyDVD's setting -> program -> uncheck "Automatically check for new AnyDVD version"
Thanks jerry and flip, flip 218 should I let it stay connected or should I stopit. Can they tell what I am copying? thanks mka
I've never heard of AnyDVD or CloneDVD2 reporting what we copy. You can disable it. I do, they send you an email when there is a new version anyways. Then you can just download it from slysoft.com one small note. I've keep every version that comes out
cool and thanks Also I was thinking about dual layer burning, does decrypt and shrink work with dual layer burning? any thoughts thanks mka
Both Shrink and Decrypter work with dual layer Decrypter seems to work the best for this. Its as simple as selecting "Mode" ISO Read R to rip it Then "Mode" ISO Write W to write.
Thanks So I just change that in decrypter. Do I still use shrink? Yes another question, why do you save every version of anydvd? thanks again for the help mka
For dual layer ... you only need DVD Decrypter, because DVD Decrypter is capable of ripping and burning. Just make sure you do it in ISO mode. Even updates can have problems, so if the newest version has issues I can go back to a previous version until they work the bugs out
CloneDVD2 doesn't recognize that AnyDVD 4.5.5.1 has decrypted the DVD. It tells me the DVD is still copy protected. Can anyone tell me what's wrong?
that happened to me earlier today...make sure that you open AnyDVD first, then put the dvd in, wait til AnyDVD has informed you that it recognized the encryption and removed it (usually a pop-up screen that comes up) and then open CloneDVD. Seemed to work ok, after that.
I did it the way you recommended, bydasword. I've tried it multiple times...opening AnyDVD first, waiting for the window saying it removed the encryption, then opening CloneDVD. No luck! Very frustrating!!
