@ Expat 1. The HD upgrade is $30 and is eligible now for the 20% discount. Just ask for it and send SlySoft support your order number. $6.00 isn't much but who would turn it down? The upgrade is NOT eligible for discount. Just bought the upgrade and theres no dicount for upgrades.But what i paid for AnyDVD 3 years ago $30.00 is worth it for the upgrade. Chris

All said, I don't think anyone feels the price increase is justified, only future consumers can truly answer that question.
Well said. More comment is simply repeating what's already been posted. The increase will have no effect on me and likely none on the other contributors to this thread. Almost double the cost in everyone's currency... caveat emptor.

I stand to what I said. It's too late to remap the purchase SSL area to include coupon code entry to the HD upgrade. Anyone who asks for the "Christmas" discount for the AnyDVD to AnyDVD "HD" upgrade will get the $6.00, period. I never said the coupon field is there, I said it's available to those who ask. So, Chris, send a support ticket to SlySoft and ask for Frank. You'll get that $6.00

Is there any other program that will do the same as clone dvd mobile? I love the program, a friend of mine has it and anydvd and clonedvd. I am very impressed, i have watched them use it for years.. I need to buy them now i guess unless anything will the same stuff as all the slysoft programs.. i assume if one will you guys will know.

Buy the programs before the massive price increase. If you don't, you'll be pi$$ed in more way$ than just money.

I'm agree with ZoSoIV on the alternatives. Granted, Slysoft is good, but they've never been the only game going and haven't always been the leader.

But they don't cost as much. DVDCopy 6 besides doing the transcoding, processing different formats and such also handles the mobile formats. It does what it takes 2 or 3 Slysoft programs to handle.

hi pacman. that dvdfab hd platinum it backs-up, compresses, and burns in 1 shot? what kind of burn engine does it use? is it more, or less like shrink? i don't mind going through the motions w/the freeware, but if i could do all 3 w/1 proggie that would be more convenient, and quicker of course.

What can I say? The burn engine is incorporated into the program. It works just as well as the other popular programs. DVDFab Platinum is the all in one program if that's what you're looking for.

Thanks guys, i dont have much time to look around now before buying.. I liked the idea of putting videos on the iphone, psp with dvdmobile, i didnt know any of the others would do that. Are they an easy interface to use?

Just my thoughts on this matter, for what they're worth.
Common Business sense says: It takes Money to stay in the game, let's look at 2 "Free" Programs. DVD Shrink & DVD Decrypter. These 2 have not been updated for several years. The developer of DVD Shrink works for "Ahead" Nero now, DVD Decrypter was "bought out" by Macromedia? Slysoft is still here and updates as often as needed. I see no way the "Free" software developers can "Stay in the game"
Per Se. When they decide to either quit, or start charging, I'll still have AnyDVD, CloneDVD2, and CloneCD. Yes, I like the Freeware sometimes, but it takes longer to achieve results with them. I don't have a lot of free time, so I like what I mostly use. Slysoft Products. I bought them years ago, and it was & still is the best $$$ I have spent on Software of it's kind.
Final Word: "To each His/Her own. Use what you like. It's a Free world out here.

Don't worry, this thread has pretty much turned into a commercial for Slysoft anyway. With DVDFab Platinum, you'll just be one layer farther than with most other programs. I have a folder named Ripped Movies. I set DVDFab to save there. When I do the rip, it sends the files to that folder and creates a folder named Full Disc and then the folder for the movie with the Video_TS. If you don't want to go that extra layer, simply save to the top of the drive, such as C:\. It will create the folder for you it saves the movie files in. Just a little quirk of the program and nothing at all when you get used to it. I haven't time DVDFab Platinum against CloneDVD, but I wouldn't imagine there being much difference in the speeds. YOu can use the trials and check that for yourself, if every second is important.
I don't know about now, I've not paid attention to the speed trials, but InterVideo's DVDCopy used to be about the fastest transcoder available. Now the DVDCopy 6 is from Corel. The companies merged. As far as ease on that one, if you can recognize icons, you can run the program. It's one of the most simple interfaces I've seen.
@cindyh
If you like the mobile formats and also want a transcoder for DVD and other formats, check out the DVDCopy 6 ZoZoIV has been talking about.

If you can get DVD Copy 6 to work on your pc, that is.
I posted this in another thread devoted to DVD Copy 6, but it bears repeating that the newest version is extremely buggy and Corel's customer support is incredibly poor to be kind. I would *not* recommend their software.

Well if HD and Blu Ray back ups are in your future by all means get the AnyDVD HD. $12 a blank HD/BR discs are not something I especially look forward to.

No, me either, i didnt even know there were burners out yet.. can't imagine how expensive they are. I guess this will all come down in price but as usual it will take several years.. I don't think i will worry about the anydvd hd, it may not be around when the time comes for me, or i may not make it that long, you never know :)
thanks

Sorry to re-enter my question again, I do know about the deadline, I do know there is gonna be a price increase, I do know about a 20% discount etc. ok all that really does not answer my question.
Its to late for me to e-mail support at slysoft cause I'll never get my answer back in time, before the deadline, in US dollars, for an upgrade, I already have anydvd, want to upgrade to HD, what will it cost me exactly, does the 20% discount work with an upgrade, so far to me at thier website it looks not, also it says 30 bucks for the upgrade if you have anydvd, but if I'm not mistaken, it will only cost 30 bucks to purchase anydvd hd on a new purchase, or am I wrong here, I was under the impression that I could get an upgrade to hd under the 30 bucks. So if somebody knows more on this than myself please elaborate and correct me if I'm wrong or right.
