I agree, ... just take real good care of your original until Slysoft comes up with a fix which is usually a couple of days. I always felt that the "I want to go back to AnyDVD (any past version)... please, please help ... where can I get a past version..." mentality is motivated my a compulsion to get their movies back to ntfx, bb, or hv as fast as possible so they can commit their next copying act !!!
In many cases I fully agree with what you just said which saddens me. I simply cannot condone people copying rentals. It's not just illegal... it's moronic. At the very least rent the movie and watch it when it's released and wait a bit and then either buy it cheaper or buy it used. I pick up some movies for 3 USD that are used but in beautiful condition.
Sometimes I get annoyed at [certain] people who freak out when
Slysoft doesn't post a release within say 5-7 days of a disc that can't be copied. I wonder why that's a magical number... Oh, yeah...
due dates.
Blades of Glory [v6.1.7.1] and
Blade - House of Chthon [v6.1.8.4] are perfect examples. For different reasons both of those took some time for an update to be released and some people went into conniptions. I'd rather wait and make a backup later than get an update really quick that
James doesn't feel is up to
Slysoft's standards. That said, bugs are a fact of life and they can and will crop up here and there. It's unfortunate but that's how it goes.
There are other people that just don't care to understand the whole
A.I. Scanner aspect while to others it's like trying to understand
Latin when they don't know the language. So, they just throw up their hands and say,
"I don't understand this and it isn't working. I just want to do it the old way!" On one hand I get it but on the other I do not. I wish those people would post logs w/o it having to be requested and I wish they'd scan their discs for errors. I'm amazed at how many people don't even do those two things when asked to do so by the people trying to help them.
I also, personally, think trying to support both old versions with people saying it won't copy a newer movie and a newer version with people saying it won't copy a movie an older version copied just leads to headaches for anyone trying to actually help.
I guess this came out as a rant but it wasn't really intended to be. :doh:
Anyway, so far
AnyDVD 6.1.8.6 is working perfectly for me but I also don't have
Meet the Robinsons.
