The debate will forever rage on about software & technique, own your software or freeware. What cannot be refuted is the simplicity of backing up a single DVD with AnyDVD. These two movies (above) I purchased and backed up 2 travel extras (FULLSCREEN & Unrated versions) using Nero Recode2 and AnyDVD 6.0.1.1 running in the backround....That's It! You want to save time and hassle, mind you on the tuff stuff i.e. Arccos PuppetLock, RipGuard. Not to mention the flawed disc that are created while attempting to break these encryptions. The answer is then evident, Get AnyDVD. For most if this program was sold in stores this topic I feel would not be debated, But I think because it's an online purchase and really the ability to make this type of puchase seems to be a problem for many guised under online security concerns. The other question is, Is this a hobby for you? or is it something your making money from "THAT's ILLEGAL"!!!!!! which draws on other major concerns for those individuals. When it comes down to it anyone who wants this program can have it. For many who oppose it's necessity and use I feel they've got to face their guised precautions again if backing up a single DVD disc copy is just a hobby, purchasing AnyDVD from slysoft should not be a problem, but an end to most of the known complications all are confronted with, when making single copies of their privately owned DVD's.:P
All you have to do is learn the proper way to use DVD Decrypter and you can save your money. There is plenty of documentation on how to achieve this and you don't have to wait for a program to be updated.
Personally I run AnyDVD with DVD Shrink. It's quick simple and it works everytime. I have tryed the DVD Decrypter / VOB Blanker route, yes it works but it was just a longer process.
"ARccOS? is the first and only available digital and dynamic DVD-Video copy control which effectively prevents unauthorized DVD copying on PC. ?Our customers are pleased to finally have found a copy control solution for DVD-Video that protects their content successfully."
HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!
This is a very usefull guide on backing up you own store bought movies. Its used with all free programs (Nero Rencode u must buy) and just takes a little longer to do then using AnyDVD and CloneDVD2
