Is there a way to continue using AnyDVD past the 21 day trial? I didn't use it after downloading it and when I have to use it to backup a DVD that needs it, it states that I'm past the trial period and need to order it. If I uninstall the program and reinstall, then try to run, it states the same thing. Did it leave some sort of trail behind that says that I had already had the program and won't be allowed to use it again unless I pay for it? If so, is there a way to get rid of it? I really do need AnyDVD for some movies that can't be backed up with other programs. Thanks in advance.
Other than reformating you computer, you cannot use the program beyond the 21 day trial without buying it. If you cannot afford AnyDVD then use the free programs they work also. DVDFab Decrypter will rip to your HDD and you can then use the free DVD Shrink to compress and DVD Decrypter or ImgBurn to burn. There is also DVD43 that is a driver that works like AnyDVD. Or RipIt4Me will work with DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink. Software and guides here http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/index.html RipIt4Me http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/360110
Thanks for the help on this, it's greatly appreciated. I have DVD Shrink, DVD Decrypter and DVDFab Decrypter and with some of the newer movies or movies with some "jumping man in shorts", I can not use a combination of the three. So I'll try the other programs that you suggested, DVD43 since it works like AnyDVD and see where that gets me. I've created a link with my problematic movies, so maybe you can take a look and ring in some suggestions: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/374613
If you can rip thise movies to your HDD then run the file through VobBlanker and it will blank out any suspect cells. http://www.videohelp.com/~jsoto/vobblanker.htm Guide http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/334154 Or try the RipIt4Me program it will do all these movies and clean the bogus parts out of the movie and open Shrink.
