Which is better at unprotecting DVDs? AnyDVD, DVD43, or DVD decrypter?

I am using CloneDVD 2 and need one of those to unprotect DVD movies. I read that DVD43 or DVDD works with CloneDVD but I have never tried it with CloneDVD2 so I wanted to know your opinion of how well they work with CloneDVD2?

I hope you will choose something other than AnyDVD so I won't have to pay $29.50 for it but if AnyDVD is superior to DVD43 and DVD Decrypter I won't mind buying it.

@ trilite,

What type of response do you think you will get making a posting like your above posting in the AnyDVD Forum?

bjkg,
Why are you so aggressive/negative in responding to trilite? The guy just
asked a simple question LIGHTEN up it's not Life or Death!!!

Trilite I think you are better off just paying the $29.50 in the first place and don’t have to worry any more about it! They are updating it regularly and every time a new protection is out it seems to do the job. DVD Decrypter is not being updated any more so sooner or later it’s not going to work on the new protections and DVD43 well nobody knows for how long it will be updated

@ Ivanhoe,

Yes you are in fact correct that Forum Member trilite did ask a simple question but he chose to ask his simple question three different times in three different Forums.

In seeing that Forum Member trilite has taken the time and effort to post exactly the same posting in three different Forums I believe he is fishing for an answer that he would like to hear and not really looking for the best Commercial DVD Movie Title copy protection scheme removal software program.

Respects to all on this thread but I support bjkg's opinion of trilite's multiposting. I had my little aggressive/negative responce on post #6 over here:

I sure have got to admire Ivanhoe's mellow outlook. I agree it's not life and death. But my 30 minutes are up so I can't re-edit.

anydvd for me because as said before dvd decryptor is now a thing of the past...

Let's see...pay the money once for AnyDvd and from there on free lifetime upgrades..
For every good mousetrap, Slysoft's Anydvd has always provided a smarter mouse in a timely manner...the choice is clear.

I thought I would never pay for decrypting software. I finally broke down and bought AnyDVD and CloneDVD. Life is so much simpler now.

I haven't used AnyDVD though I have read great things about it. The only thing that has stopped me from purchasing it is the "paper trail" it leaves. Correct me if I'm wrong (been wrong before and I'll be wrong again...perhaps today ) isn't the software illegal in the U.S.? I see this is a multinational board so maybe this doesn't apply to everyone but might RIAA/MPAA sue to get customer names from Slysoft? The tactics they use seem to be more overzealous everyday! I've used Shrink, Decrypter, DVDFab and DVD43 and haven't failed to make a copy yet.

AnyDVD is a standlone protection remover and is a great tool to use in combination with other burning programs that don't stay current with there updates on protection removal or don't have protection removal options. ( DvD Shrink, DvD Decrypter, Etc )

DvDfab is one program that does all you need and does stay current almost as fast AnyDVD with the latest protection removal.

It's just a matter of choice, find out what protection the medium has and go from there.

I am NOT a legal expert; but this is my understanding. In the US it is illegal to make copies of Movies you do not own. It is legal to make copies of DVDs that you own. This is why it is illegal to download movies but OK to use programs like AnyDVD to make copies of your personal DVDs.

I just remember how DVDXCOPY was shutdown. Then again they didn't have to turn over any of their customers names though. I might go ahead and try the AnyDVD trial. Can't hurt to have yet another way to rip.

tmb5fan,
321 Studios, maker of DXC, was US based and subject to the wrath of the powers that be. AnyDVD is based in Antigua which has a nice little population non-cooperative islanders and a government to match.

If you are really that worried, then create a false log-on on a work or other computer and download the programs and keys there. Use someone elses credit card. Or send them their money via money order without your name on it. Then transport them to your own system via a usb memory stick/drive.

Or order by mail to a false address you can retrieve them from and use an "alternative" email address to get the keys.

Or order them in your mother's name. Mothers never get sent to prison.

Thanks for the advice Whisperer1. It's not worry but more like why take the risk/pay if you don't have to. Thanks for the info on Slysoft I'll keep that in mind.

BTW I am old enough to worry about my kids getting a hold of my credit cards so maybe I'll put them up to it.

Great sense of humor.
In this volatile world we live in, I sincerely hope the FBI has better things to do then to snoop around to see if we have AnyDVD installed on our computers.
I will say this, it is second to none in providing an update, regardless of what region you're in, should a new copy protection come forth. Just email the IFO files to James at Slysoft and it's usually fixed in hours, not days or weeks.
What more could you ask for.

Incorrect. The legal situation is more complex, i.e. you are allowed to make a backup of your own DVD, but you are not allowed to bypass the protection.
Actually it is a Catch 22. (Poor Joseph Heller).

I'm new to anydvd, but I can say its kick arse as a registered owner. Well worth the investment vs other stuffs on the market from 97 to 05...

This forum has many helpful members here who will help folks out, within reason of course.

You won't go wrong, stick with the best, AnyDvd that gets updated frequently. /cheers.

Don't get me wrong either about the other softs out there free or not, to me, there is no match.

Like thier Faq mentions you have 21 days to test it out, they encourage it. To me it means they are "active" in their softwares, which many have come and gone.. and yet AnyDvd is still here. That in itself should explain all.

take care.

i would just like to add that anydvd is great to the point i purchased it recently!

ive tried the other 2 you mention but they are not as good as ANYDVD IMO.

plus its updated all the time!

Hi
I'm not sure where my money would go?
They say quite often that there's a clue in the question.
This time I think it's in my signature.
What do you think?
