Anydvd-hd beta is out!!

[guile]

http://sandbox.slysoft.com/beta/SetupAnyDVDhd6120.zip

zip password is "takeyourtime" (without the quotes).

You have to reboot after the installation.

This version fixes a bug which prevents OpenSeason R2 (UK & Netherlands) to rip correctly. As always, there are many other small fixes and improvements.
Additionally, it supports decrypting and "on the fly remastering" of HD DVD discs:

6.1.2.0 2007 02 12
- New: Added support for new versions of the SONY Arccos protection
to the option to remove "Protection based on unreadable Sectors"
- New: Added HD DVD and AACS support.
(Registered users need an upgrade key, currently only available to
registered beta testers)
- Fix: Problem with multi-angle titles and Sony Arccos protection
- Some minor fixes and improvements

If you want to test HD DVD decryption but you have bought AnyDVD (not running in demo mode) you have to remove your AnyDVD license key (easiest way to do so is to rename the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SlysSoft\AnyDVD\Key to something else using regedit).

If you don't have a HD DVD drive you don't need to bother, of course.

That's great, but the zip you provided is password protected :)

[k-c-ksum]

check the edited first post :)

[k-c-ksum]

so does this beta rip the hd-dvd 100%, working menus, extras, feature, the whole shebang.?

Try it and find out:D

Short answer?..YES! My advice is to use with Powerdvd 7.1 for best results.

[Pelican9]

Good news, but there is another thread in News section: AnyDvD HD is comming... (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=121450)

[hajj_3]

this is great news, hopefully you guys can test it and fix all the bugs before it comes out for public beta.

Are you kidding me? That thread says "It's coming", my thread
says...."IT'S HERE"!

If Blutach thinks it should be moved/removed, by all means.
This is now a PUBLIC BETA PEOPLE!!

[bachuka]

I downloaded the beta program. Is there a way to rip it to your hard drive and watch it from there? I could not seem to figure it out with AnyDVD HD.

[k-c-ksum]

I wonder if it uses pre stored keys or if it grabs them from memory?

Run a HD DVD using PDVD ULTRA. Just start the movie. Then you can stop it. Take a look at the dir of the drive that has the disc. Its changed. You can prob figure out from there what to do next.;)

A def buy for me when it comes out.

[Galileo2000]

Great, thanks for posting.

Just one question: AACS happily approved?

[Prophecy650]

Really stupid ? but how to you use the program? Can you decrypt to hard drive? I have an 360 hd dvd drive

Yes this is amazing. No more waiting for an hour for the movie to copy from disc/decrypt. Instant, real time playback! Hopefully their decryption method is robust enough to stand up to whatever changes aacs has in the works.

[jokin]

lol there is a "SLY!" directory on the HD-DVD now and no AACS directory but the sly dir has all the AACS stuff.

There is also and ANYDVDHD directory. So the dir structure is...

Works like a charm also. Lets get an open source version of this working.

[linx05]

Well I made a thread in the News section the other day when it first came out. It didn't seem to make the cut for one reason or another. EDIT: it's there now.

I wonder if it uses pre stored keys or if it grabs them from memory?
It grabs them from memory by itself.

I heard (http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?p=6369&highlight=script#post6369) James will/has added script support. That is where you make your own script then let AnyDVD HD change it on the DVD (in memory of course). How cool is that? Can anyone show me that working? Now if only they would add it to DVDs.

[blutach]

I see no reason not to discuss the beta here.

The earlier post was basically a news item that someone was working on something that was not yet released, and so had little relevance to this subforum.

Now, if posters wish to publish some of their results, that would be useful to discuss.

Do you need the ANYDVDHD directory file and structures?
I copied a small evo file using anydvd and the same evo using backuphddvd. The anydvd evo stutters and skips barely playable and the backupdvd evo plays fine.

[jokin]

The ones I copied "drag and drop" from the disc while anydvd was running play perfectly.

this was due to a player bug if I remember correctly, a bug that muslix64 fixed with his program that wasn't really a bug but a shortcoming of the player (powerdvd or windvd)

You don't have to "start" then "stop" a movie.

Guys, please post Anydvd-hd questions on slysoft forum. This was more an "Announcement" thread as many have been waiting for this application. I guess comments are ok but this is not a "Help me with Anydvd-hd" thread. Go to slysoft for that.

Same here! KK, MI, MI2, MI3.... No problems at all! It just works.

I had some minor stutters, But after moving my USB connections from an external power hub (360 addon and HDD's) to and internal USB card and re-dragging the evo files from the disc seems to have help. Only did two discs last night....finally I can back up The Searchers and Mutiny on The Bounty

[Tinker06]

You don't have to "start" then "stop" a movie.

I found that out later. It just takes time for the disc layout to get set up with Anydvd I guess. Was impatient, also my PDVD is set for auto run...:o Thanks :) .

[Prophecy650]

how do you get it to start decrypting

[2bigkings]

it's on the fly, just copy the files to your hd!
if anything works open you're hddvd drive and you should find 4 folders, 2 of them named anydvdhd and sly!

[Prophecy650]

so I just go to my hddvd drive and drag the folders out?

gWell, if this was merely an announcement and didn't wish to stimulate discussion here, why didn't you post it in News? I also refer to your post 8.

We are not a front end for the slysoft forum.

Discussion is one thing and to be honest, a LOT of people were anticipating this software. I just didn't want to start a thread where people were asking for help/support with this. If your fine with it, then great! I keep your reminder fresh in my mind for future events though.

Feel free to move this to the "News" forum if you wish.

yes thats right prophecy

[blutach]

@guile - As i said before, now it has been released, I am happy to have this thread here and have it as a place where our members can discuss their experiences with this new beta.

As a Slysoft beta, I am sure you can carry these experiences back to them.

Fair enough. I was under the impression that support type questions might have been frowned on, and that was why I posted that. I am more then happy to help out in any way I can.

Btw- If you haven't already tried it (I bet ya did;) it is pretty damn impressive.

So is the work on which it is undoubtedly based.

In light of the fact that this commercial program has "appeared out of the blue", one has to wonder if this might be a situation similar to DVD Shrink's author purportedly taking his/her work to Ahead NERO as "NERO Recode"...

Not really...
DVD Shrink was never open source...

[Ishan]

I tried this in a "I want to play a movie through DVI" situation, and this doesn't work with Power DVD 7.2. My own rip done with the java gui works fine. If I try to read a HDDVD on the DVI display PDVD just crash, staying on screen.
So it seems I'll still have to rip my HDDVDs for some time...

Did you try dragging the files to your HD also to see if that works? It worked for me. I also had to try playing it 2x the first time bacause PDVD crashed out.

[setarip_old]

Not really...DVD Shrink was never open source...A minor difference. Just surprising to see a commercial product (regarding a topic of this magnitude) just "pop up"...

[Galileo2000]

Sorry if this is redundant.

Please enlighten me.

If I can buy commercial product which does all the decrypting for me for $XX and then I can just drag files to/from, does it mean AACS is fine with that?

I'm gonna say no and that AACS-LA will use the opportunity to shutdown SLysoft for good. But in the meantime you can backup your HD-DVDs with it.

[blutach]

Can we keep the discussion on topic please?

How would anyone even know what AACS is going to do?

This is not a forum to dicuss legal matters. Go ask AACS if they are happy or not if you like. But do not raise irrelevant questions here.

No problem Les.

However, this entire development is kind of both technical and legal. And you should know by now which side I am on.

I'll shut up and die for now with those questions.

AnyDVD is of no use for me if I can't playback the disk directly. So no I won't try that :)

Did you try re-opening the disc playback directly after it crashed? I had to to get it to work.

I was selected as an beta tester for AnyDVD HD when it was still private, and I must say I'm quite impressed with it. It's commercial/closed source nature aside, the approach work's flawlessly in my experiences. I have tried it on Vista Ultimate 32 and XP Pro 32, and it's lovely. I love it and intend to use it not because I want to pirate or even back up my movies, but because I simply want to watched my rightfully purchases products on my rightfully purchased hardware. I have a top of the line computer, but have been unable to watch HD DVDs because I haven't replaced my perfectly good Xerox LCD monitor with one that has HDCP support. I've always gotten "Insufficient hardware for playback of protected content" in WinDVD8 and PDVD. What a travesty. Luckily, AnyDVD lets me play back these movies, and it works flawless. I hope that someone creates an equally slick OSS solution for Win32 and Linux.

[Tinker06]

Just notice that the two backups I did with anydvd have minor stutters. Others I did using the BackupHDDVDGUI (java or C# ver's) dont have this issue. Anybody else notice this? These stutters seems to be the anydvd process (I am guessing), since I can re-copy and the stutters appear at diff places in the movie. Never had stutters with all other backups not using anydvd. Since this is a beta , hope its fixed before final release.

Let me guess .. you are using PDVD 6.5 ?

[Tinker06]

Let me guess .. you are using PDVD 6.5 ?

I am using PDVD Ultra...:)

I mean these stutters are very minor and unless you are really looking can be missed when viewing the movie. Almost like with a film projector (yea still have a Bell and Howlle 8mm film projector... LOL) where the frame jumps.
