Can I name names? Sorry but these people deserve recognition.
Thank you brobear, who well over 1 1/2 years ago, posted in a forum about AnyDVD. I knew what to turn to when I started having problems backing up my movies.
Thank you Ireland and arniebear who finally convinced me that Clonedvd2 was an excellent choice over DvdXCopy. I've been able to back up all my TV series, director's cuts, etc.
People have to remember these come with a 21 day TRIAL. One can make their own choice as to whether they want to purchase. No one is twisting anyone's arm.
Yes, there are free alternatives, but I don't mind paying for, nor recommending programs that WORK. I, personally, do not have the time to fiddle-fart around using this and that to get a working backup. In my opinion, Slysoft deserves every single penny I paid.

I totally agree! If they don't want recognition and repeating, they shouldn't have said it in the first place! Once you say something on a public forum, it's public domain.
It's not right that a "Senior member" can insult another member or two, in public view, here on the forums, and the insulted not be allowed to tell others what he said, and who it was that said it!
Tread lightly folks. It looks like the only people here with rights, are the Senior Members.
Rant over...........

I was one of those AnyDVD haters to start out with. Only because it made it SOOOO EASSSYY!! I am not new to burning dvd's I have about 10-20 programs I use, and I enjoy the challenge of copying some of MY movies. I just burnt dick and jane with decrypter 3.5.4.0 with a program called PGCEDIT with the PSL2 plugin which is really cool seeing as I have always loved decrypter!!! Some of us like a challenge but why crack on the guy who just wants to back up a dvd the easy way eh? and if you were new to burning movies as many others and aren't looking to get into MANY hours of reading and learning new programs I would tell you the same thing... get AnyDVD and CloneDVD! lol! on the other hand if you like a challenge and wanna learn new programs and don't mind frustration start downloading and trying new combinations and keep posting em so I can try em out lol! peace all!

I keep reading about Newbies and and yes we were all in that situation once but AnyDVD might not of been around then so why blame all the peole that are looking for answers for the actions of a few, after all how do you know that Slyfox software is posting the replies. I know DirecTV did on someof the forums about them. Along with this I hear the so called "experts" saying how easy it is to rip movies without AnyDVD, but I have not seen the first guide of how to do it, or a pointer to any of the guides that were mentioned here.
I thought that this sight was to help everyone, not start in fighting between us. So let's come to terms that everyone can do everything and let the ones that want to use it do and those of you that want to spend hours on end doing work arounds to it their way. After all we have all bought software before and will again to stay even with the movie makers and their staffs.
After all where can you get a "Supported" copy of Nero, the Operating Systems that is required to make the computer operate, or the other tools we use to do what we enjoy doing.

First off let me say that I bought AnyDVD and CloneDVD2 and use them almost exclusively. But here is an excellent guide written by alkohol. I have not tried this method, due to laziness, but it will work on any movie. http://www.k-probe.com/backup-movies-DVDDecrypter-PgcEdit-VobBLan...
As a side note if you haven't seen this guide mentioned in any threads, you haven't looked too hard.I posted this same exact link earlier in this thread. Not to mention that every time a "problem" movie comes out this is one of two answers that work on any movie. I don't think I need to say what the other one is.
Happy burning
If I can learn here so can you.
Search first, then ask. Words to live by.

interesting thread..... just wanted to say AnyDVD RULES!!! lol... and no... i didnt come to piss anyone off... but really... when something is good... especially in the software world... people brag... they really appreciate a good product... i was reluctant to buy it as well... im an *el cheapo* too... i support a family of five i cant afford not to be... but just the time saved and the energy spent makes AnyDVD the greatest program ive ever purchased... ever heared the saying "cant beat em, join em" i have a feeling youll be joining them before its all said and done.... and as far as wasted thread space... isnt a thread about wasted thread space a waste of thread space? lol..

hmm, I like AnyDVD personally because it has saved me a few times in the past so people praising it on the forums is good really. However, what I dont like that happens often is people get flamed for trying to show users alternatives. By alternative i mean mostly freeware software to help battle encryption etc. This is not an AnyDVD forum so even if you recommend AnyDVD to Joe Average, do not flame a user who posts after you with a harder yet freeware-only solution.
AnyDVD is good for quite a lot of users however because it is simple, but if they don't want to spend money then they don't want to spend money.
Oh and, there are now no instructions and wont ever be any instructions from official afterdawn staff as to breaking copy protection, even for a personal backup, due to Finnish copyright laws. So don't take my post above as encouragement from a staff member, take it as a light warning towards users who like to flame a little bit too much.

I have to say when I started reading this thread I agreed with the frustration the originator felt at all the AnyDVD shouting.
However this thread opened my eyes to the frustration felt by the AnyDVD posters, and that the reason you shout about AnyDVD is to make your work easier, not necessaraly sell a product...Which is something I admit I was suspicious about at A.D.

People who knock SlySoft are usually ones who have been here less than 2 seconds, they come along with an attitude, then wonder why people get p*ssed off with them.
Lots of us have been here for a long time & recommmend AnyDVD because it is a very good prog, not because we are reps for SlySoft. We recommend it because it is very good. There are lots of other free progs that can do an excellent job, but 99.99% of people who buy AnyDVD never look back.
I get really pissed off when long time members get slagged off by newcomers, they either p*ss off & don't come back or they relent & accept the error of their ways.
We are all here for a reason, to back up our dvds, sometimes we can get sidelined & get involved in pathetic arguements with complete d*cks, very rarely do the newcomers win, they can end up banned, after hurling insults, typing in caps etc! Long timers are here for a reason, we have an inkling of what we are talking about & rarely talk of things we know little about. That is because people who spout bull get found out very quickly & rarely last!
Lots of long timers have left, usually due to the invasion of kn*bheads & their wildly stupid opinions.
The first 2 posters in this thread make my point quite eloquently, they have not returned since. Marvellous!
End of rant!

AnyDVD is easy and sometimes the simplest solution is the best. I tried out the new proggy RipIt4Me and it works a treat. Even did a guide, but it can take a little to get used to it and sometimes noobs are just not understanding and that makes them frustrated. AnyDVD is just click and go. I will recommend free and the pay it is up to poster/user what they want to do. I don't make decision for them.

I have just came across this thread, and I am one that nearly always recommends AnyDVD, why, because it is a great program that works. But I also recommend the free options that are just as good like DVDFab Decrypter.
I only recommend programs that I have used and tested for myself. If people dont like the answer I give then tough!!!
90% of the time if a newbie was to use the search function they would find an answer for there problem.
If anyone should be moaning it should be the members that have been here for a long time that have to keep answering the same questions over and over again.
We are all here for one reason, to help and to learn from others.

A coworker gave me 2 dvds that he couldn't get to play in his players-region code 2. These dvds were bought by his brother while he was on a trip there.
I enabled AnyDVD,ripped them with DVD Shrink-region free,and booktyped them to dvd-rom.No need to switch my drive to region 2,and then back to region 1.
Great program. Not only ripping encryption,but setting a drive to be region free!

@pazzini,
I agree!
I assume newbies feel totally overwhelmed by their seemingly insurmountable problem so they just ask away.
Think of all the newbies that do use that search function and don't ask a question....AD gets quite a few visitors so these are probably a bunch of folks we never see.

AnyDVD by Slysoft has probably been THE best investment in software i have EVER made, i just recently made a $30 donation for DVD-Rebuilder Pro and am still getting used to the settings and stuff, so i'm a "newbie" with DVDRB thus far...
as pazzini stated, i recommend it too because IT WORKS and WORKS WELL; i only recommend ANYTHING to ANYONE here that i have PERSONALLY used and tested MYSELF; none of this "my buddy said this and this newbie said that"...i can't stand people with NO ACTUAL EXPERIENCE in a product bashing something even before they have actually tried it for themselves, this holds true for PC hardware too; you gonna bash something that you've only "read about" on the web in reviews and purport that WHAT YOU HAVE is "better" than the product in question? gimme a break...without actual EXPERIENCE between 2 products that are being reviewed, you have NO factual evidence to "claim" one is superior to the other (i'm not even talking about fanboyism here, in which a person PREFERS one company to another), crap you read on the web is definitely BIASED (tuned toward whichever company is marketing said product)...OPINIONS that are geared with this mentality, mind you, it's only an OPINION from whoever supports the product and should be treated as such...just an OPINION...everyone has a right to their OPINION, but you would be arrogant to argue FACT :)
ok, i side-tracked a bit there, quite a bit of nonsense i've read lately throughout the forums here, but back to AnyDVD, it's a great product THAT HAS WORKED VERY WELL FOR ME PERSONALLY, i highly recommend it as a solution IF the person is willing to pay for it, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the "free route", i use many of the FREE solutions as well, but a simple PROVEN product that works well deserves MY money and i recommend it; the authors and contributors of AnyDVD in MY eyes deserve getting paid for a terrific product... :) nobody is twisting ANYONE's arm to buy it, it's all based on the user and how he/she wants to go about it...

PEACE, I Bow to Bender!!! If you ever make-it across the pond and out to Cali, I'll buy ye'a pint, and a serving wench!!!
Regarding Seach Engine, I use it every time I have a problem, but rarily find the thread with the answer I need from it directly, I have to then cruise through forums, and usually find the answer through cruising.
Example I predominately use 1clickDVD (Yes I try diffrent spelling configs) if I do a search under that I only get 2 threads listing it, even though there must be hundreds. I find it while cruising all over, but not through search engine. I think this may be one reason why people end-up posting under what is technically the wrong forums.

Congrats on 15,000 and all your help in the past and hopefully the future (DONT LEAVE!!!)
