AnyDVD, by Slysoft, is an application that works in the background to automatically remove the copy protection of a DVD movie as soon as it is inserted into your DVD drive. This enables you to backup/copy the DVD movie using a DVD backup tool such as CloneDVD and CloneDVD Mobile. You can also remove the 
RPC region code, thereby making the movie region free and viewable on any DVD player and with any DVD player software.
This application does a whole lot more: You can control the drive speed of your DVD drive, allowing you to reduce the noise level when watching movies on your PC. You can even adjust the display frequency of your monitor for both NTSC and PAL displays.
A companion to AnyDVD is AnyDVD HD. it comes with same functionality as AnyDVD, but with additional features for full HD-DVD (High Definition DVD) and Blu-Ray support, including decryption of HD-DVD & Blu-Ray movie discs. Playback your discs on your PC with PowerDVD Ultra, which otherwise do not run (titles released by Studio Canal, The Weinstein Company, Kinowelt, Optimum Releasing).
AnyDVD HD is the "must have" utility for the serious home theater enthusiast using a media center / home theater PC. Another amazing feature of AnyDVD HD is "magic file replacement ™". Remaster any commercial movie disc using simple XML scripts.
These scripts will "magically" replace the files on the physical disc. You can customize discs as you like without even making a copy to harddisk! AnyDVD comes with a UDF 2.5 file ripper, no need to install 3rd party UDF 2.5 filesystem under Windows XP. Download Now | Learn More
