We are operating in a free market place. Both programs you mentioned have their strengths and weaknesses as I have recently found out. Anystream may be perfect for some, while another program may be perfect for others. As a consumer who decides what I spend my disposable income on, and one who knows the value of compare and contrast, I have decided to do that with the two programs you mentioned. My first exposure was to Anystream so they have a six month advantage on a 1 year license, the other product has a full year left to go. I will be evaluating them side by side for six months, then Dvdfab will be operating six months by itself. At the end of the evaluating period, I will decide what is best for me going forward. As I stated earlier Anystream has its positives, but if you are into shows that have long runs you are pretty much screwed. I am into CSI, NCIS, the original Law and Order, most of Supernatural and a few more 10+ years shows, if living a normal life, you are looking at 3 months of download time, with the potential loss of access to any of them. As for the other, a lack of customization can be annoying, as for DRM issues at the moment it is working, if they hit a brick wall then that will go into the mix when determining where to put my dollars in the coming year. Bottom line Ferrari guy, or SUV guy, or sedan guy, or sub compact guy. What works for you, works for you.
