I am evaluating AnyDVD to see if it does what I want, which are making a dvd drive region free and slowing down the same drive when reading a movie from CD (So far, I've been able to do these things separately using different software packages, but not both at once).

AnyDVD seems to be just the ticket, but unfortunately the drive speed control portion of the software doesn't seem to work for me. I've enabled speed control from the "drive" tab and played around with different combinations of speed settings for the DVD/CD/Other disc types, but no matter what I do, when accessing a CD the drive spins up to full speed and stays there.

I have succesfully controlled the speed of this same drive using both CDRomTool and Nero DriveSpeed.

Is this a matter of AnyDVD simply not supporting my drive, or are there other settings I can play around with?

For any Slysoft people reading this: This is a buy/no buy issue for me. If it ends up working I'll be happy to spend $39.
