AnyDVD HD

Blu-ray ripping begins and ends with AnyDVD HD.  If you have alot of movies you are looking to rip, this is a must have piece of software.

Basically, AnyDVD HD scans this disc and removes the copy protection.  You can either rip the disc to your hard drive or just use AnyDVD with the disc in your Blu-ray drive.  It will remove copy protection “on the fly.”

AnyDVD almost works like an antivirus, since it is updated constantly to deal with new forms of copy protection.  That is the real value of the software, the constant updates.

AnyDVD is expensive.  It will run you about $100.  Slysoft does have frequent sales that reduce the price about 20%.  kepp an eye out for those sales.  They happend about once a month.
