AnyDVD now with Artificial Intelligence

  home - news

This newspost is a full press release and has not been modified by our team of editors.

With today's release of AnyDVD 6.1.8.4, SlySoft has once again delighted its customers with the delivery of another masterpiece in the never-ending battle with manufacturers of DVD copy protection systems. The new Artificial Intelligence (AI) Scanner analyzes the entire DVD within just a few seconds and through the utilization of voluminous rules and exceptions "decides" dynamically exactly how to circumvent the copy protection on this particular DVD.

Giancarlo Bettini, SlySoft CEO, enthusiastically sums up the achievement this way: "The AI Scanner in AnyDVD is a new, pro-active copy protection circumvention method. It allows the user to make safety backups of his DVD movies even if the newest anti-piracy technology is used. It is our belief that the AI Scanner will even work on protections yet to be released, so we see this as a future-proof technology. This is indeed a hard nut to crack for the copy protection industry."

About AnyDVD:

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. But AnyDVD doesn't just stop at DVDs. It also decrypts protected audio CDs to allow you to copy them. Originally developed by Elaborate Bytes, AnyDVD was acquired by SlySoft in 2003 and has been downloaded more than 15 Million times ...
