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.
-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.

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!
