Hi, I have been using anyDVD for a while now, but I never update unless I get to a DVD I can't back-up. Well, today I had to update, but now I can't register anyDVD. I follow the directions of the e-mail and it still gets the "Your trial time has expired" pop up when I try to open anyDVD. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

who is this e-mail [containing your key] from?

A friend. Its I didn't buy the program. Is this why it won't work? I've never had problems with it before and I've had it for a while.

Hi
Welcome to the forum mojoe.
Although it's CloneDVD2 the process is the same. Providing you have key or email attachment. Uninstall AnyDVD completely, then reinstall. Register following these steps.
edit this only works with bona fide programs & slysoft emails.

If you haven't bought the Key from Slysoft, you're basically S*** out of luck. Just buy from Slysoft and you wont have a problem....

that is why I asked where you got the key
as I did not want to flame you right away
because it was quite obvious it did not com from slysoft
Your key is/was illegal and has become blacklisted
If you like the program, please buy it and thus support the developers

There is nothing else we can help you with at this time
Sorry

zeb
his key is illegal
got from a friend

Yeah, I thought that might be the reason. Damn... I want to buy anyDVD, I really liked it, but $40 is a lot.

I agree with all the other poster here get the reg and email from slysoft. Another words legally buy it.

Well, I would buy anyDVD, but I don't really have the money right now. I just started college and had to buy books and stuff. I also need to buy a cell phone bc mine got water damage. So maybe after I finish buying what I need to I'll definitley think about buying it. Anyways. Thanks for the help that you were able to give me. I'll definitely think about coming back here if I end up buying AnyDVD (legitely)


Thanks.

Every once in a while slysoft post a coupon code so you may check back often like you I was in the same boat and thought it was the best investment I ever did. since you are in a tight bind currently I suggest use ripit4me and dvd shrink both are free.

Yeah, someone told me about ripit4me. I just downloaed that and dvdFAB decrypter. I was using AnyDVD+Shrink+Nero when I had AnyDVD so I already have Shrink.

Try DVD43. google it.

I'll try taht out too.

@mojoe:

I would definitely recommend Ripit4Me if you can't afford AnyDVD. It works with all the newest copy protection schemes and is basically a 1-click solution. It's a great piece of software. Ripit4Me + DVD Shrink will not disappoint.

DVD Fab Decrypter tends to have more problems with the newest ArCoSS protected DVDs like "Inside Man" than either AnyDVD or Ripit4Me, so I would give Ripit4me a go first. RI4M will also allow you to do a movie+menu or movie only backup so you don't have to rip the entire DVD which means the process is faster.

lol, Inside Man was the reason I updated AnyDVD...


On RipIt4Me, if I do a Movie+Menu only, is there still hte options for the extras and nothing happens when you click them or what?

Far as editing the movie and such that is done within the copying program not the ripper / decrypter.

Well, jason said that Ripit4me has the option of only ripping movie+menu. How does it do this. What happens to the extra and other stuff?

These should really help you out I believe.

Correct, the menu is copied in its entirity and is fully functional but only the main movie is ripped. If you attempt to select and use a feature in the menu that has not been copied, you'll simply be returned to the same page instantaneously as if nothing happened. You can select the removed features but when you click to play them nothing will happen.

It behaves the same way that a backup with "Copy DVD Titles" with menu would work in CloneDVD2. The menu still works properly, but rather than playing the extra, nothing happens.

BTW, if the menu links that don't do anything really bother you, you can use DVDRemake Pro and remove the links so it no longer acts like a button.

No it wouldnt bother me at all, its actually somethi I would really be interested in. I was doin full dvd backups at like 68-70%, but I would never even look at extras. I did full backups because I liked havign the menu. This will be a very good option.

You don't have to do a full backup in CloneDVD2 either. Choose "Copy DVD Titles", open the VIDEO_TS directory from your DVD drive. CloneDVD2 automatically selects the longest title (the movie). Make sure to check the "Preserve Menu" box. Choose next and select the subtitles and Audio streams you want on the next page. Then complete as normal.

RI4M will also do a movie + menu backup. However, if the size of the ripped movie is more than 4.37 GB you'll need to load it into Shrink or CloneDVD2 to compress the movie so you can fit it on a DVD5 as RI4M is only a ripper. It won't transcode.

You will definitely get higher quality backups if you only backup the movie + menu. All those extras take up valuable space that could be used for the movie. Sometimes you get lucky and you don't have to compress at all. That was the case for me today with "2046" and "A History Of Violence".

Well, I have only used CloneDVD once and I didn't like it because I couldnt' figure out if you were able to remove audio files and lower quality on other parts of hte movie. I've just stuck with DVD Shrink. But RipIt4Me+DVD Shrink sounds good.

CloneDVD2 will not allow you to manually change compression settings for different titles like Shrink does. It may do it automatically, but I don't believe it does. As for audio/subtitle streams, after you select the titles you want, the next page allows you to choose the audio & subtitles you want. But as you said, RI4M + Shrink is an excellent choice as well.

Yeah, I always lowered the compression % on the menus and extras so that the main movie would be able to be as high as possible.

b)
Then why in the Ripit4Me Guide the author says you have to have all the follwoing installed for Ripit4Me to work?.

a) Ripit4Me

b) DVD Shrink

c) DVD Decrypter

d) FIXTVS1.403
