DRM is about technologically removing your fair use rights so they can sell them back to people dumb enough to buy them. AnyDVD HD allows you to do two things that are both quite legal, make a personal backup of an HD-DVD and play it on the machines you want to. You don’t have to buy a new HD TV, cables, amp and the rest just to watch the movies you legally purchased any more.

AnyDVD is a must have utility. I simply say get it. If you have a DVD burner, or have a thing for movies, especially foreign ones, this handy utility will make life easy again.
AnyDVD works in the background to automatically remove the copy
protection of a DVD movie as soon as it’s inserted into the drive,
allowing you then to backup the 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.

The exact feature list of AnyDVD HD is that of AnyDVD plus AACS removal, removal of artificial HDCP/HDMI restrictions, playback on the players of your choice, and most importantly it lets you skip those damn ads they inflict on you at the beginning of the movies.  You can also rip the movies for backup purposes, remaster them with a new ‘magic file’, and tweak to your heart’s content.

AnyDVD is still on my very short list of must have products. They update it regularly, it works without any problems, and just does what it says.  The software lists for $49 with an extra $30 for HD totaling, $79.00 but there is a free 21-day trial here, or you can just buy it here. I think that the complete bundle for $119 is the best deal. Worth every cent.

And if you buy it from one of these links I will get a bit of commission.  So if you like it, please give one of my purchase links a try.
