Are there any other options out there besides AnyDVD by Slysoft? I don't always run into problems where I need this type of decrypter all the time. Therefore, I don't see the reason to pay $39 for the program. I've used the program a couple of times before and now my expiration period is over. So, now what am I supposed to do? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
DVD43 works similar to AnyDVD. If I'm not mistaken, it's freeware. One thing to keep in mind...I don't think it has so many features like AnyDVD nor it is updated as regularly.
I am told DVDFab Decrypter (the free version) works as well if not better than AnyDVD, though it doesn't defeat CinemaNow's FluxDVD (yet). However, the only time I have used it was to read data off one of my own, homemade discs that was badly scratched. It apparently is a good data-recovery tool as well, along with the similarly-named and also freeware DVD-Decrypter.
Hi, http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/360110 is worth a read if you are looking for free software to backup your dvds.
T-shot, I use AnyDVD and FabDecrypter together all the time. If I find one I can't rip, I use RipIt4Me and DVD Decrypter. Just use the Wizard mode. I couldn't find anything that would back up Silent Hill. In spite of 2 upgrades right in the middle of running the program, it worked flawlessly! Very slow as the DVD only reads at 1x. Then again, it worked where everything else failed! Get it here! http://www.ripit4me.org/ Happy Computering, theone
