AnyDVD is a driver, which unprotects DVD-Movies automatically in the background. This DVD appears unprotected and region code free for all applications and the Windows operating system as well. With AnyDVD's help copy tools like CloneDVD, Pinnacle Instant Copy, InterVideo DVD-Copy, etc. are able to copy CSS protected Movies. With the help of AnyDVD you can watch movies with non matching region codes with every DVD Player Software you like!
AnyDVD decrypts not just DVDs: AnyDVD allows you also to play, copy and rip protected Audio CDs!
But AnyDVD does much more, of course. For example, it is possible to control the rotational speed of your DVD drive, so you can watch DVDs on your PC with far less noise!
AnyDVD is the perfect Add-On for your HTPC (Home Theater PC). It can prevent the automatic launch of software from your Video DVDs (e.g., PC-Friendly) and you can start user defined programs on disc insertion and removal.
AnyDVD can adjust your monitor's vertical refresh rate (e.g. 72 Hz with NTSC and 75 Hz with PAL) automatically if you wish!
AnyDVD can remove unwanted user prohibitions, e.g. it removes forced subtitles or it lets you skip copyright messages and FBI Warnings.

you mention that AnyDVD decrypts the DVD... I use DVD Decrypter to decrypt, Shrink to make the .ISO file and then Decrypter again to burn DVD... Do I not need decrypter then??
You do not need to use decrypter persay but clone dvd has a mediocre burner. i would use dvd decrypter to burn because it is the greatest burning engine and can booktype +rs but you do not need to decrypt it with dvd decrypter since that is what anydvd does better. Yes you can use region\css free but it will not tackle the sony disks with new protection on them
