AnyDVD removes Macrovision's CDS-300 copy protection

AnyDVD removes Macrovision's CDS-300 copy protection
SlySoft announced yesterday that the latest version of their mega-popular DVD ripper, AnyDVD, now also removes Macrovision's CDS-300 copy protection mechanism.

Unlike most other protection methods removed by AnyDVD, CDS-300 can be only found on audio CDs and the copy protection mechanism itself is similar to the notorious XCP "root kit" copy protection from Sony. AnyDVD now removes CDS-300 from audio CDs and also prevents it (and similar copy protection mechanisms) from installing to the computer where AnyDVD is installed.



"Most customers don't even know, that AnyDVD not
just deals with movie DVDs, it also removes basically all copy restrictions of audio CDs. Furthermore, it protects your operating system from the installation of unwanted drivers like the Sony 'Root Kit' or Settec Alpha-DVD. Therefore we recommend our customers to activate AnyDVD at all times."
SlySoft's CEO, Giancarlo Bettini, told in the company's press release.

  • ThePrez

    WELL I THINK THEY NEED TO CHANGE THERE NAME FROM AnyDVD TO AnyDVD BUT THE GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED, EVEN AFTER THE NEW UP DATE IT STILL WILL NOT LET ME COPY THIS MOVIE.

  • pktabron

    I was able to copy The Greatest Game Ever with no problems at all, and this was before the upgrade.

    13.4.2006 06:39 #6

  • ThePrez

    Well thats all fine and dandy but i know about 100 other unhappy people that cant get the movie to copy before or after or so i think its time for them to step up there game or step outta line, because no longer dose the term AnyDVD apply. and outta 3 desk tops and 2 laptops non- will work thats a problem.

    13.4.2006 06:44 #7

  • siber

    ThePrez, don't shout, unless you are shouting at yourself. AnyDVD works very well. Check out or have your computer checked out. You have some other problem.

    Hello, I am new to this technology, are we saying that if I want to back up my private DVD`s I can easily copy them through my Pc. Is this an easy procedure. E.G. Master in download, out then blank in to copy - I assume there must be some guide during the process ??

    Thank you

    BAV

    13.4.2006 07:43 #15

  • ThePrez

    I dont have to buy them, my other half owns a blockbuster.

    13.4.2006 07:57 #16

  • ThePrez

    And the copying thing is more a job for me

    13.4.2006 07:58 #17

  • telerad

    Well I've been using AnyDVD for over 20 years and it has yet to fail in stripping ANY type of encryption from any DVD movie.
    If ya got a problem with this program it ain't the program - it's your PC.

    13.4.2006 08:00 #18

  • lawndog

    prez lay off. I backed up The greatest game ever played without a problem. Besides that. If AnyDVD were to step outta line, what would most people use?? hmmmmmm?? If you hate AnyDVD so much why not just not use them?? Check your system, and all your settings, because it worked fine for me with shrink/ decrpyt/ANYDVD..... tell me again that it doesn't work. I'll be sure to thikn about you when I watch it next time.

    ANYDVD is awsome. Seems to update quite regulary. Good Job guys

  • ThePrez

    Well Considering dvds ain't been around 20 years thats a bold face lie you just told, and like i said this is a job for me i keep up to date on all my computers, i dont wanna be like AnyDVD but the greatest game ever played, and fall off my game. and i dont think AnyDVD have been around for 20 years. get ya lies correct so when you try to throw a diss you dont miss.

    13.4.2006 08:07 #20

  • cheezy_P

    Wow, I can't believe you legitimately buy 40 movies a day and have time to make legal backups of them for yourself. I wouldnt go around saying stupid crap like that if i were you. There is no legitamate reason anyone could have for making 40 "backups" a day. and if there is, i would like to hear it. "step up thier game"??????? tell me of any program out there that even comes close to to AnyDVD that isnt made by SlySoft. Honestly, again, I would like to know. AnyDVD is the only program with frequent updates that stay on top of Nearly every dvd release. Please talk about something relevant. SlySoft, Thanks for this new technology blocker. I love that I dont have to worry about getting f*ed from trying to rip a cd (i bought) to my mp3 player.

    Update to Prez... Im no lawyer but im not sure cuz your "better half" owns a blockbuster (which sucks btw) gives you the right to make legitamate copies... "a job for you"??? why don't you just let everyone know that your selling huge amounts of copies of movies you never bought. Come on, selling illegal copies on such a huge scale, sounds to me like an over ambitious noob if I ever did see one.

    Please, if this must go on, take it to a different post, instead of complaining about a wonderful program.

    Prez ya gotta mellow out and get a sense of humor. I know DVD's ain't been around for 20 years. I'm prone to exageration. Just be sure the little red faced fox icon is running in your system tray. That's the bar at the bottom right corner of the screen. And the bar on the bottom left corner is called a Quick Launch bar.

  • ThePrez

    Tel. I been doing this for years but when a movies come out that i cant copy and i got a program that says AnyDVD, key word ANY i expect to get what i paid for. and that AN YDVD

    @ThePrez, I think your lie is a little more severe than telerad's. Go think????? Your lie, copy and resell.

    13.4.2006 08:27 #26

  • ThePrez

    lol call it a lie if you want but i know its tru and all the happy people that buy from me know its tru i dont need you to know that its tru, your a computer code that translates into words and them puts them on screen and in that case your nothing for me to asure of the truth.

  • ELS

    theprez doesn't seem to understand that HE and others like him are the cause of the copying problem. I doubt that the movie industry has a lot of problem with people who want to back-up their own legitimate DVDs.
    They go to the expense and extra grief of copy protection to try and stop thieves.
    If stealing is considered okay now (not where I come from) then theprez should consider suing SlySoft for representing their software. Clearly theprez thinks that AnyDVD is there to enable him to pirate DVDs and sell the resulting copies. My mistake - I assumed that the prog was to enable people to make back-ups. Back-up does not = pirate.
    I assume that the girlfriend is an accomplice because if not, theprez must be some sweet boyfriend to risk her doing time for his sleazy criminal operation...

  • ThePrez

    Yes well all those names your calling me im ok with that, and all the negative remarks im ok with that, but still my bank account growns by the day and thats really all that matters, and i mean come on dude be honest with yourself how many people do you really think get AnyDVD, but the greatest game ever played, use it to back up movies they have bought if you bought it why back it up. oh yes so you dont mess up the one you bought, ha ha right. be for real use ya head.

    I had no problem with The Greatest Game either.

  • jlsr222

    Is Clone DVD and Any DVD really the best. I have been having a problem make a back up The Cospel. I tried DVD X Copy Plat. and DVD Fab Plat. Both failed. Also with DVD idle Pro in the background running

    13.4.2006 09:02 #33

  • ThePrez

    Oh well what evers what ever like i said i got the movie to copy without useing AnyDVD, took a little work but i always make something happen, so im outta here tired of talking to you conformed AnyDVD, But the greatest game ever played, heads

  • siber

    Don't know if anybody learned anything here...I did get a little mental gymnastics in trying to figure out what points were made by ThePrez. He should realize that Afterdawn is not really a good place for him, with pirating and all that...By the way, for the folks who were asking questions about AnyDVD: yes, it is a great program (even if it doesn't like 'The Greatest Game, etc' ). Go to the website of Slysoft and you should have no trouble understanding the 'why and how'. If anything remains unanswered, recheck with us here. There are plenty of guides around and it is very simple anyway...

    13.4.2006 09:17 #36

  • ZippyDSM

    Ya but Any DVD is not a ripper a ripper converts the DVD to vid files and such not a 1:1 copy to the HD.
    I wish DVD Shrink could transcode it would make thigns alot easier ><

    13.4.2006 09:22 #37

  • ThePrez

    My point was don't call it AnyDVD if there are exceptions. and whats it matter if i admit to selling the dvds i aint selling them here, and none of you know were im located and even if they wanna take the time time run the ip down it will take them to a empy house so alls well that ends well

    I downloaded any dvd and loved it but someone said something a while back about downloading again after the 30 day trial was up. I can't get it to do that. Does anyone know how? Or what else I can use for encryption?

    why is that? because i state the truth about what afterdawn is really for to tell people how to copy a movie and how netflix only help make it easier and how AnyDVD is really just away to get free movies i mean come on folk the ones who belive diffrent to help

    13.4.2006 09:45 #47

  • ThePrez

    I mean really if anyone should be sued its AnyDVD for making something that crack copy protection and then proffitting form it

    13.4.2006 09:46 #48

  • siber

    ThePrez, I don't think Afterdawn cares one bit about where you live. One of the Mods could just decide to ban you (you may not care). The site is very careful in regards to pirating. Where they are located, they have been warned and had to remove lots of software that they had made available. They don't want to get shut down for condoning piracy, even in the forums.

    13.4.2006 09:46 #49

  • yapper

    why are you hung up on Netflix thought you were Mr.Blockbuster. I mean that's what you said right? Don't get your panties in a bunch people are just kidding with you. So chill out and go rent some movies and buy some popcorn.

    13.4.2006 09:50 #52

  • ThePrez

    And the reason i say netflix is because it was the first easy and cheap way to copy a dvd and still make a profit off it. we all know it

    13.4.2006 09:52 #53

  • yapper

    jeeez your right how stupid of us I mean getting on the web and announcing that you have good security and everything, now no one will suspect you right. Good job prez and by the way with a name like that we should all trust you right?

  • ThePrez

    If they wanted people to copy dvds even as back ups they would not work so hard to stop people from doing it. so really its all stealing you didnt buy 2 movie you bought 1 and then stole the other

    13.4.2006 09:55 #56

  • siber

    ThePrez, I give up. Who has accused you of being the only one who 'pirates' copyrighted material? Where is that mentioned? You may be less likely to find one of us who does it for commercial reasons. Also, to get back to the point you keep repeating over and over about AnyDVD, if you want to start a petition to change the name of AnyDVD to SomeButNotallDVD, be my guest. See if people care.

    I love AnyDVD but I'm probably really daft cos I honestly just backup my dvd collection as the kids wreck the original dvd's, they have no thought about how much they cost etc so they have the backups in the bedroom and we have the originals downstairs....I'd never dream of selling copy dvds to make cash and perhaps that's the difference of most of us on this forum. Whether it's right or wrong, I still reckon once you've paid for the dvd you can do what the hell you like with it. And if I can't backup the dvd then the kids don't get their grubby hands on it!

    Is their currently a discount on SlySoft products for AfterDawn users? There was a coupon code last month but I don't think it is still valid...

    I love AfterDawn and I love AnyDVD...
    But I must say that the hypocracy is insane here!

    I didn't read the original comment, I'm sure he got what he deserved.

    BUT, you DO know that coppying and giving your copy to your KIDS is AS ILLEGAL as giving it to your friends.

    I quietly mentioned that I put rentals onto a REWRITABLE DVD and overwrite them as I get new ones because my home system will not allow me to view macrovisioned DVD's.
    I do not break the spirit of the law. I'm not selling them, or "beating the system" in any way, just like you think you are not by giving your kids copies to your DVD's.
    Yet, when I made the above statement I was editited and told not to discuss illegal activity. (as this statement will probabably be edited.)

    It seems to me that while avoiding discussions which explain how to do illegal things should be avoided, the simple discussion of what should or should not be illegal is something that is very important to this genre.

    According to the DMCA the act of bypassing any form of copy protection is illegal so we're all technically breaking the law :)

    I have always used DVD Decrypter, which is a fantastic piece of work. I have never used AnyDVD, so I can't comment on it. From the thread below (above?) the impression I get is that AnyDVD is an even better tool.

    Can someone give me some feedback or comparison between the two?

    Thanks alot.

  • ronnybuck

    Most DVD's are OK with Shrink and DVD Decrypter except for Sony and Disney. AnyDVD works for all but I am sure it is a matter of time the Greedy Movie Barrons manage to have it shutdown just like Shrink and DeCrypter. They lobbied and paid off government officials to make it illegal to make backups. Scratch that DVD and see if the bums will replace it. I guess if the big religious leaders had their way it would be illegal to have sex unless to reproduce.

  • noprobalo

    Currently DVD Decrypter is still practically on top, however, now that you cant access it for free and since they aren't making newer versions of it, DVD Decrypter is getting worse and worse as new copywrite protections come along.

    So basically, AnyDVD looks like the program of the future, but, at least in my eyes, it doesn't yet beat out the freeness of the DVD Decrypter I already have installed.

    It will be hard to close Slysoft(AnyDVD) down they are on the tiny Island of Antigua(Caribbean). They laugh in the face of Hollywood moguls. US law does not rule the world. Decrypter and Shrink are losing their abilty to rip, but are still excellent programs. Buy AnyDVD it will be around for some time. It was the best $29 I ever spent on pcs.

    AnyDVD can also Rip.

    Shrink is no longer updated because the prog writer works for Nero and his prog is now called Nero Recode. Both Recode and Shrink work with AnyDVD.

    I'm sure someone will tell me I am using a cr*ppy program, but i am still using DVDxCOPY Platinum, and I have great success. I can honestly say that maybe 1 in 100 disks won't copy, and then I use DVD Decrypter and Shrink. Quality wise, I can't see a difference, and I watch my copies on a 10 foot screen. I prefer DVDxCOPY as it is quicker and has fewer steps, so I can perform it in the background with little interference from me.

    Anydvd is a solid program combined with DVD Shrink. I find both to be, when coupled, superb programs.

    The end result is never a disappointing failure like these other movie burning programs out there.

    Sony should be sued, for illegally installing root kit on your pc. Then, to take it out, you have to virtually perform a pc surgery. Fuggers.

    I commend slysoft for their efforts!

    not to change the thread but, how could one know if they had installed one of these copy protection mech.s, root kit or other such b.s.? and how could one find it on their pc to destroy it?
    i have heard that they can put some kind of app. into a movie file, which will create hvoc with your pc, burning software and even burner.
    i thought it wasn't allowed. them being all powerful must let them get away with crap like that.
    i am but a lowly citizen who can ill afford to pay their exorbanant prices for movie's or to buy a thousand cd's to hear my favorite artists sing me the blues. if i had their money i could, or is it theirs?

    Autorun not found on Video DVD.
    Bad sector protection not found.
    Emulating RPC-2 drive with region 1!


    My 2 cents...........some of us DO BUY our dvds, whether it be new, previously used, etc. What is wrong with letting our kids view backups??? $.50 vs $10 or more. I purchased, they are MY family. OMG, do you people actually have kids????????

    1. Lets see, eat pizza and handle dvd at same time.
    2. Dvd doesn't quite get put in correctly, flipper dvd.....scratched on both sides.
    3. Oh, did we forget what cases are made for?????

    I could go on and on. I also have their friends (in their 20's) ask me to make backups of their originals. I have to wash them before I will let them anywhere near my computer. I warn that due to the condition it may be impossible. Of course, they also get the lecture on how to properly care for their dvds.

    How long has AnyDVD been protecting our computers from Rootkits? That alone would justify the cost of it, if nothing else. Also, what is the indication you have a rootkit in your computer, other than not being able to back-up your perticular DVD?

    Yes, it is illegal to damage someone's property, so who's going to jail, that's the real question.

Many of the DVD play back decks of just a little more than a year ago don't play dual layer very well or at all.Sony's DVP-NS45P plays them perfectly....I picked up this jewel a Sam's Club for $63.88.

    AnyDVD now removes DRM rootkits,WE ALL KNEW THAT,{RIGHT}?

    Cures for Sony and Macrovision DRM infections

    By Charlie Demerjian: Monday 17 April 2006, 07:03
    I HAVE BEEN drooling over the inherent goodness of AnyDVD for quite a while, and it just added another killer feature.

    Starting with last week's release, 5.9.5.6, the program will remove CD DRM infections and corporate malware disguised as copy protection.

    Since the virus scanning companies apparently had their silence bought by the media mafia, someone had to stand up and be counted, and it looks like Slysoft is that someone.

    Basically, any of the root-kitting malware from Sony, and the newer root-kitting-ish Macrovision CDS-300 system software will be removed for you. Corporate evil removed, happy users can play the CDs like any old red book audio, it just works.

    I can't recommend this program enough, check it out here. µ

    I have been using AnyDVD for several years. I consider it a superb program and worth every peny. So far, for me it has been aptly named AnyDVD, since I have not yet encountered a DVD it has not been able to handle.

    Oh, there have been times when I have had difficulties... the Studio Ghibli "Princess Mononoke" was particularly difficult, with a portion at the biginning coming out blank when first backed-up, but an AnyDVD update fixed that... there was another, can't recall which title, that required another update, but so far, it has always come through.

    I am no expert by any extent, but have been backing up DVDs for a couple of years. When the DVDs are small enough, as is the case with many titles from outside the U.S. (they don't seem to feel the need to load up the DVD with extras) I burn directly using CloneDVD with AnyDVD running in the background. When it is a U.S. release (huge, usually), I use ShrinkDVD with AnyDVD in the background to rip and then burn with CloneDVD. This has never failed me and I get the most quality.

    Thanks Elby and Slysoft for their super, SUPERB software.

    BTW, IMHO idiots like thePrez are attention seekers who get their kicks by being disruptive. They cannot get attention, do not know how to garner attention, in a positive manner. They are the class clowns who could not learn how to spell because they spent too much time being jerks. They are best dealt with by ignoring them and not giving them the attention they so much desire... although banning seems to be an effective alternative...

    I tried a trial version of AnyDVD about a year ago and its great, for 30 days. I personally prefer to use, DVD Decrypter, DVD Shrink, Nero and finally DVD Fab for Disney, or any other problem disks, "Very Simple.”. I just love the functions on DVD Decrypter. It’s Great for reading and writing iso's, and xiso's if you backup X BoX games. There's no doubt that it has problems with Disney disks, and that’s were I use DVD Fab Decrypter. I don't like how DVD Fab places your raw files, because you have to go back and rename the folder the files are in.

    Sometimes I have two DVD Decrypters running, and at the same time up to five DVD shrinks running all at once. I had to upgrade my RAM, though. I make sure to; with Shrink to enable deep analysis, and high quality error compensation "sharp" and back up to iso image file. I do this to avoid conflicts with ensuring of locking volume for exclusive access to my burner when it comes to burning with DVD Decrypter. Another benefit is if you want another Back Up and you have 15 minutes your set. I save the iso image files for a while sometimes, and erase the raw file immediately after encoding. So when I wake up in the morning I have several iso's on my hdd ready to burn, boom boom boom.

    Dvd Decrypter is always available while using BEARSHARE. I do recommend that when you install DVD Decrypter, "It asks you if you want it to check for updates every time you load it check the box NO!" I've read that Sony bought the rights; Trouble.

    As far ass the mysterious, secret software installed by Sony DVD’s; I tried the software mentioned above http://www.sysinternals.com/utilities/rootkitrevealer.html
    and found no trace, after 300 + DVD’s, it doesn’t seem like much of a problem to me, though I’ve heard about it before.

    If someone would elaborate a little on this CDS-300, I must not have any cd’s new enough to have encountered it perhaps. Cough, Cough, BearShare, Cough

    Hope this is helpful, I'm gonna try the latest Slysoft, and get back. If I remember correctly it was faster, but quality is what matters. Gone!
