any dvd

need to knoe if i need to turn off css vdvfree and dvd43 to install any dvd and clone dvd i am confused can any help.

 

Hi there jgoethe & welcome to afterdawn. There are a lot of people recommend uninstalling dvd43 if you want to use AnyDvd, as there can be conflicts. AnyDvd is a far superior & stable piece of software, coupled with CloneDvd2 make a VERY hard to beat combination. There are not many films that cannot be copied with it, combined with regular updates, esp with AnyDvd make a good duo.
I would uninstall both css dvdfree & dvd43 & see how it goes.
Don't forget to let us know how you get on & if you have any other problems we are here to help!
Kind regards,
Pulsar

 

pulsar thanks a million i am going to uninstall dvd43 andcss free then try any dvd and dvd clone. i will try and then buy but i don't need cd clone syl soft has a package fpo all but i only need the two thank for your advcie.

 

Agree w/ Pulsar, AnyDVD with other programs like it will cause conflicts.

Can't beat AnyDVD, with free updates.

New version 5.5 just released.......

 

You don't need to buy CloneCD if you don't want to. I didn't as I am not burning CD backups (I must be gettin old, seeing as I don't rock out anymore).

AnyDVD and CloneDVD2 are excellent programs.

You also might want to consider DVDFab (breaks encryptions and rips to hard drive) DVDShrink (compresses movies to DVD5 discs) and DVDDecrypter (which also rips to HD and burns to new blank DVD media). All Free.

Lot's of options out there. There are guides for all of these in my signature.

Good Luck with your backups.

 

You don't need CloneCD, if you are worried about protection on CD's AnyDVD will break that protection to and you can then just burn your CD with Nero, WMP or whatever program you use.

Is right, I just use Nero to burn CD's, AnyDVD will break the protection

for DVD's & CD's.

 

thanks again to every one i have so much to learn thtas it is scary

 

jgoethe, you are most welcome for the help. There really is quite a lot to learn, but as you can see lots of people are here ready to answer your questions.
In fact sometimes the threads can wander off in a completely different direction!

I can do that quite a lot!

pulsar i am really confused i just went into afterdawn clone dvd 2 to download and try.it said taht i need to also download deceyper and dvdshrink do i also need any dvd i also have 1click but i am no impressed with it

 

Where does it say that you need decryptor & shrink?

ClonedDvd2 & AnyDvd are all you will really need at the moment.

Decrypter is a prog that can read tricky discs, as well as burn them. It does not compresss the film though.

That is where shrink comes in. The 2 progs work hand in hand. Shrink will also work with Nero. This is because shrink does not burn, only shrink!

I guess you have read someone saying that you need decrypter & shrink, this is 'cos they are free!

Just stick to CloneDvd2 & AnyDvd, there are very few films that you will not be able to back up.

THANKS AGAIN THAT IS WHAT L WILL DO. IF I KEEP 1CLICK DVD WILL IT WORK WITH ANYDVD

 

Yes. 1click will work with anydvd. 1click does what shrink does and burns like decrypter but by itself has no decryption software within it. Any DVD with any compression program like Shrink,Nero,or 1click wil work just fine.

 

Just have anyDVD running in the background and it will remove the encryption of the DVD you want to back up. Then you can use 1Click or CloneDVD or decrypter or shrink or a combination of the above.

Use the guides by bbmayo and you will be able to get it done easily.

Feel free to ask as many questions as you need. There will always be someone here who is willing to help.

Guides are in my sig.

 

thanks to all some day i will learn to copy all that i would like thanks again to every one. i keep reading the froums to try to learn.

 

anydvd and dvd 43 dont go together. i tried this about a year ago and my pc wouldnt even recognize when i put in a disc. dvd 43 had to go. life has been great ever since.
