Since it removes copy protection during the rip
So does Anydvd, but more importantly non-structural protections and region coding are removed without requiring you to rip.
I don't care about on-the-fly decrypting of SD DVD material.
You may not, but many of us here do. I do not want to rip first to use discs the way that I want to. If you wish to be forced to always rip first, that's certainly your choice. I prefer having more options.
If I can get the same or better result with AnyDVD HD, then I am all for dumping DVDFab. Please help me out--I can't figure out how to use AnyDVD to rip just the movie, DD or DTS soundtrack, and english subtitles, into a generic VIDEO_TS folder?
I think the question you need to ask is why do you need to. You can typically run another program with Anydvd running in the background without needing to rip first. But in answer to your question, Anydvd ripper rips the entire disc. It doesn't remove anything.
The great thing about Anydvd is that I don't need to rip first to do what I want. I can use Clonedvd, Clonecd, for example, or another program to accomplish what I want with Anydvd running in the background. Provided the original disc does not contain structural protection, you can also use Dvd Shrink with Anydvd running in the background to remove unwanted material. If you absolutely must use Dvd Shrink with discs containing structural protection, then you can rip first with Anydvd ripper--and then use Dvd Shrink to remove what you don't want.
The best options are listed in order:
1. The best way to rip using Anydvd is to use Clonedvd2 (if you want video files and not a sector 1:1 rip).
You select "dvd +/- R DL" near the quality bar in Clonedvd, and choose "dvd files" as the output method, if you
wish to use another program to transcode or encode. You can then import those files into another program if you wish.
If you can't or are not willing to do Step 1, this is how you rip using Anydvd:
2.
You don't need to rip at all and can just directly import the disc directly into whatever burning application you want, provided Anydvd is running in the background. You don't necessarily need to rip first at all. Not having to rip first is one major advantage of using Anydvd. If the original disc contains structural protection, however, you may need to do step #3, depending on the program that you want to use.
3.
If you can't get what you want using #1 and #2 first, then you right click on the fox icon on your toolbar and select "rip video-dvd to hard disk"--but only if methods 1 and 2 fail first. For more information
