AnyDVD ~Confused!

[Micker_C]

I just downloaded AnyDVD, seems the movie 'Stealth' has issues....But I can't see any .exe that works straight off AnyDVD, I mean loading the progo, won't garna any refrerence to backing up the DVD?

What's the story on this to actually recoginse & work off a DVD drive, to reference the progo; looks like a set of rules, that won't actually acknowledge and write?

Tried DVDdecrypter, but it won't work with this movie. So, is AnyDVD dependand on some other ripper?

HUmmmmmm

[Captain315]

There's nothing wrong with AnyDVD. You don't use an EXE with it. It will just sit down there in the tray and when you load a disk, it will make it appear to the computer as if it's not encoded. It works in the background automatically and combined with DVDecryptor, you should have no problem backing up your movie.

[redwudz]

From the guides, it appears to be used with Clone DVD. I use DVDFab Decrypter and DVDShrink for backing up my problematic DVDs.

If the little fox-head logo in your task bar is gray, then AnyDVD is not enabled. Right-click on it and select "Enable AnyDVD". The fox-head logo should turn red.
AnyDVD decrypts disks "on the fly" so that you can use any disk-copy/burning program to copy an encrypted movie. Obviously, if the movie is too big to fit on a regular 4.7GB DVD, you will have to shrink it, or use a double layer DVD, if your burner supports this.
One clue that it is working (other than the red fox-head logo) is to run some decrypting software like DVDShrink on a movie, and instead of displaying some encryption code, it will read, "Not encrypted".

[Micker_C]

Ok, I'm stupid on this...It's red & ready~enabled. I use CopyToDVD/ relucatant Nero (Used only for CD's). Shrink brings this movie up, but won't set the progo. Decryptor simply fails @1/3 the way through. AnyDVD has no .exe that will do anything; so I'm assuming [Cap] that although it may work, it still requires a third party app & it seems these won't handle 'Stealth'... So, what's the real solution, if Decrypt & shrink won't handle this?

I have burned many backups of owned Movies, that have greater than 4.7g (Double layer) -this is a problem! Simply deleting the 'Extras' has always worked, but Decryptor errors out & shrink won't go the whole way either, with the Video_TS.

I do suspect that it will will need Clone DVD to work or/ another progo; but I thought CopyToDVD could handle this~But, that should not be a cavaet; seems both Decryptor & shrink are compromised by this movie -Hey, thanks Sony! I have a reg CopyToDVD version on board -So, the other benign question is how limited is AnyDVD?

What progo & who has actually managed to back up this particular movie?

I did the day it came out, as i'm sure alot of other's did.

I use DVDFab Decrypter and DVDShrink for backing up my problematic DVDs.

What he said!!
I have never used any pay for program to back up one dvd yet.

DVDfab_Decrypter...seems to have issues, after downloading, I was forced to go into safemode mode to delete this progo, the security apps I use see this as suspect! Hense that's NOT something I will run & it would be prudent to consider the app unreliable.

Then im suspecting you have other issues
I run norton internet security pro (anti virus and firewall) and my router has yet another firewall, i have had ZERO issues using this program ever and tons of people here use it and i have NEVER heard of this happening

So, You used shrink on this Movie, perhaps you could step out how you managed this Without the DVDfab !As it shows up in security as an issue, I had to go into safe mode & delete the progo & then clean out the remaining BS from fab ~So, I see that progo as highly suspect!

Cheers

[Micker_C]

No, I'm very conversed in root kits & maleware, security is my game That's not to say people don't have an intrinsic 'Right' to find a means to backup their legit DVD's.

Perhaps the link, refers to a BH site, rather than the intent?

DVDFab IS NOT the same thing as DVDFab Decrypter version 2.9.6.5 which is FREE

The free version does have an option to check for updates online but i always disable it....

Ah, I see where people will get owned, your discription is accurate. So, folks be VERY careful of your download, & I would recommend that the initial link be removed; as it was NOT the site link intended!

Get rid of Nortons it's rubbish, use AVAST, it is free for private use, and
does not send you messages saying it has stopped a virus all the time, hello!. wake up
everybody!.

They all lead to where they are intended when i check them
Including in redwudz post's, and on the tool page.

Colindale..Da, Who users Norton anymore!

Ok, with the legit progo, saved to the HD.....Where do I go from there. AnyDVD does not progress; nor gives direction? So, I'm wondering where this progo actually moves on after the legit DVDFab Decrypter. The file is saved, so where does AnyDVD kick in? Do I need to kick in shrink?

What do I need to do from here? Saved the file using the correct DVD authoring software...So, where now?

I Don't!, you would be surprised at the number of sheep that do!.

[Micker_C]

Ah, I got the thing done...I still dont see where AnyDVD came into play though. The progo suggested by...Noahtuck, worked!

For those that care Norton has been DOA, since 2001!

Can't see any real use for AnyDVD, unless I'm missing something.....?

{Life..& such} <!....Long winded.

Still, users should be cautious of the WRONG download, with respect to DVDFab Decrypter...Be careful.

Micker_C....

You didn't mention the level or version of AnyDVD that you downloaded. Did you download it directly from the SlySoft site?? Right click on the red fox and select Settings to get the version. 5.6.3.1 is the up to date version that they emailed me to download and update my software. Worked great for me.

[CBC]

I *seem* to remember that there are some guides posted on this site for just such processes...



AnyDVD *only* nullifies your retail DVDs copy protection - that's it!
You then use Decrypter app to rip the files from you DVD onto your HD.
THEN you need to reduce the size of the video data in order to fit it onto a DVD-R

or

You should be able to insert your DVD in your drive w/ AnyDVD enabled, then fire up Shrink or DVDREasy,DVD2One, etc to shrink/save the video_TS folder to your HD. then you just burn it onto a DVD-R using your fave burn app.

[HHL]

I did Stealth and watched it no prob, used fab decrypter(keep checking for latest versions on this site) with anydvd running in the background and used Nero recode ultra version 6.6 or later to burn. I am using Memorex dvd-r 16 speed. DVD decrypter is done for.

Anyone know why the new img burn will read my movie in the drive but will not decrypt onto the hard drive?

[Noahtuck]

If you are using the latest DVDFab Decrypter you dont need to have anydvd

And the reason ImgBurn does not rip a dvd to your HDD is because it is ImgBurn & not DVD Decrypter

Lightning UK made DVD Decrypter, and he also makes ImgBurn, macrovision went after him and that is the reason DVD Decrypter is gone.... otherwise he would still be doing DVD Decrypter and not ImgBurn 8)

Micker_C... Look at AnyDVD as a filter. Just like a water filter to remove contaminants from your drinking water. That's all that AnyDVD does, it just takes all that bad stuff out of the dvd before it goes into the computer. There is nothing to say it's working or finished. Just like a water filter, it does it on the fly. Believe me, it does work. To know this, remove AnyDVD and bring up a dvd in Shrink. You will notice the encryption code number displayed when you try to copy the DVD to HD. With AnyDVD working you will not see encryption code numbers, only "Not encrypted". AnyDVD along with your favorite ripper (Shrink, DVDecryptor, etc.) will copy the file to the HD. Then just shrink and burn. I have yet to find a movie that I couldn't backup with AnyDVD and DVDecryptor although I am sure I will someday. But I'll worry about that then.

[Micker_C]

Ok, guy's this was all very helpful. I was really wondering where AnyDVD came into play. Using DVDFab Decrypter [Cool that 'Decrptor' still lives) then Shrink, thus onto CopyToDVD worked like a charm

I'm still curious though after reading, is there really a need for AnyDVD, with DVDFab Decrypter -Seems to take the nasties out? I'll assume on the front end that Captain315 has this nailed though. It's not much to pay for the extra protection. Oh. I did ...huh, use AnyDVD as well; all this was on another drive ~Hense the question with repect to AnyDVD. The original Decrypter failed within 1/3 of the process. So I was wondering if that was due to the "New" version or/ AnyDVD, as noted by Noahtuck & Captain315?

Just dang happy to be able to back my collection up, after a serious lull

Thanks.

[Captain315]

AnyDVD is updated regularly to keep up with the new encryption schemes. As long as the decryption program you're using keeps up also, there is little need for AnyDVD. You might keep in mind that AnyDVD makes your DVD appear unencrypted to ALL your programs when loaded into the tray. With the typical decryption program, it decrypts the information to a file on your hard drive for later viewing/burning. Using the water analogy again, AnyDVD filters the nasties on the fly. A decryption program would be more like using a distillation process to purify the water. One is "instant" while the other takes another step to process. The ideal scenario would be to use AnyDVD in conjunction with a good decryption program. This would give you the best of both worlds. You are aware that Shrink is no longer supported and cannot decrypt some of the newer protection routines. Since I started using AnyDVD, I have not (personally) found a DVD that Shrink would not work with. It saves me the extra step of using another decryptor before importing into Shrink before burning. It's just a choice you make or a chance you take.

And don't forget , AnyDVD also works on encrypted CD s too, an added bouns
