I have a quick question. Does AnyDVD physically remove the copy-protection from the source movie, or does it handle this in memory?

BigBruce sorry but anydvd does not remove the copy protection from the dvd. The copy protection will still be on the original dvd that you purchased. It is handled in memory and you can also make a back-up copy with all the copy protection removed using anydvd combined with clonedvd2.

HOWEVER, your computer will "see" the DVD as if the copy protection has been physically removed. That's because AnyDVD uses the drive filter feature built into Windows.

Your first inquiry was close in concept.

AnyDVD strips the protection from the data as part of the process of moving the film content to the hard drive from the DVD. Of course, the physical DVD remains untouched. We may work magic but altering a retail DVD disc is a bit of a stretch. ;)

Just to elaborate more - not only while moving to harddrive. No matter what looks at the disc - it sees it decrypted. Windows, player software, copy programs, file viewers, the DOS prompt, ....
