Slysoft release AnyDVD HD backup software
Slysoft has officially released their HD DVD copying software that they claim allows any user to take advantage of their 'fair use rights'. AnyDVD HD allows users to make backup copies of their HD DVD discs.
Features include:
* Watch movies over a digital display connection without HDCP-compliant graphics card and HDCP-compliant display.
* Playback those discs on the PC with PowerDVD Ultra which otherwise would not play or would cause a software crash.
* Removes user prohibitions. You can select language and subtitle tracks without going through the disc's menu.
* Removes parental restrictions.
* Allows you to remove or skip Studio Logos and warning messages.
* With "magic file replacement (tm)" you can remaster any commercial movie disc using simple XML scripts.
* Includes a UDF 2.5 file ripper; no need to install 3rd party UDF 2.5 filesystem under Windows XP.
So, a good solid disc ripper. I doubt the content owners are too pleased about this, and similar, software, but it was only a matter of time before it became available.
