I'm assuming you have a licensed program of
AnyDVD downloaded from the Slysoft.com site. If not, there is no sense to continue.
Uninstall the version of 5.8.3.1 completely, then go to this link and download v5.9.0.0, it's a beta version but it works great with an added feature to rip the DVD to the hard drive. You have to right click on the red fox in the task bar to access this feature.
One more question, in the AnyDVD settings/ drive tab, are the drives being recognized?
Get v5.9.0.0 here:
