AnyDVD vs DVDIdle Pro - Club CDFreaks

panchdara · 19-03-2006

I know this is a loaded question (perhaps) but what are the differences/preferences between AnyDVD and DVDIdle Pro?

I have search the forum but no concise question/answer was found.

Thanks.

Thanks.

As far as I am concerned there is only one answer AnyDVD is better and the reasons are far too many to list.

AnyDVD will remove the protection on DVD videos so that they can be ripped/copied. It also removes any region code protection.

DVDIdle Pro removes region coding and caches the DVD so extending the life of the DVD-ROM/Burner. It does not remove all the protections as AnyDVD does.

This link gives more detail about DVDIdle.

Okay... okay..

Thanks so much for your enthusiasms. It doesn't take a genuis to be put in my right spot. I appreciate your advice. Cheers Shannon, Tim and Alan.

Small tangent: Tim, when you state ""It also removes any region code protection", what about the DVD firmware? I use both NEC 3520 (2.U4) and 3540 (1.W8), Liggy & Dees firmware with RCC and RPC removed. How, if in any way, does that work/coordinate(?) with AnyDVD?

(To be truthful, Liggy & Dee have these firmwares available (and they work), but I'm still confused as to which one to use and why/when/where... all I know is these I mentioned work quite well.)

I don't really think your firmware should be a concern at all
