SlySoft's latest AnyDVD HD release strips BD+ from Blu-ray Discs

The title pretty much says it all here, folks. Just a few months after SlySoft revealed a beta of its AnyDVD HD software which obliterated BD+, v6.4.0.0 has finally arrived and proudly possesses the ability to "remove BD+ protection from Blu-ray Discs." Among the other changes is an option to enable / disable BD+ removal, a fix for seeing a black display with some BD discs and other minor DVD-related tweaks.

Really, are we supposed to be surprised?

A human makes a lock, a human 'breaks into' the lock...

Interesting, Falcon.

So has anyone here successfully ripped a bd+ disk yet?

It's cool that you could actually rip an entire BD disc, but you will sacrifice disc space on your PC or external drives. If you want to burn it on a disc you'll need an expensiver Bluray burner and the still expensive blank Bluray discs. Total it's an expensive hobby. You'll be better off buying the movie at a discount or used and save money and time. That is just my opinion btw.

Thanks

That is so ironic but everyone knew this was gonna happen. Fox went with blu ray because they are so anal about copyright. Yet it doesn't matter in the end. Nothing is protected for very long these days, hahaha. As soon as recorders and blank discs come down in price it's pirate time for the pirates once again. Maybe they should come out with 3.0 blu ray players so they can give themselves another couple "copy free" months.

Count me in as one of the people waiting for blank Blu Ray discs to drop in price....\

ARRRRRRRR!!!!

Or you could just buy one of these...

When CES 2007 came around, a good portion of the US stopped and thanked their lucky stars as MediaGate's fairly well-spec'd lineup finally came stateside. Now, the same firm is introducing the MG-350HD's (pictured) successor, the MG-450HD. Said entertainment server enables owners to wirelessly stream HD video, music, and other media to an HDTV or stereo from their PC, and it also fetches content from networked hard drives and locally attached USB drives. Unfortunately, this one caps out at 802.11g, but it does include HDMI, optical / coaxial digital audio outs and Ethernet to boot. At $249, it's still a bit more expensive than Popcorn Hour's highly praised A-100, but loyalists probably won't mind.

In the end it's still better to just buy the disks. Piracy is bad!

The xbox360 would allow all the same streaming capabilities if Microsoft would remove all the stupid strangleholds they've placed on the system!
