This is the initial release for the new command line utility AnyCmd. It is designed as a replacement for the AnyTool2 utility witten by bigdude.

Install: Unzip and copy it anywhere.
Usage: AnyCmd [enable][disable][stop][help]
[rip <Drive Letter> <Target>] -ow -log
[ripiso <Drive Letter> <Target>] -ow -log
[ripraw <Drive Letter> <Target>] -ow -log
enable or –e :Enable AnyDVD.
disable or –d :disable AnyDVD.
stop or -s :Shutdown AnyDVD.
help or -h :Shows usage information.
rip* :Same as ripraw for now.
ripiso :Rip DVD files to specified target iso file.
ripraw :Rip DVD files to specified target without renaming folder.
-ow :Overwrite existing files.
-log :Creates a log file in the current folder.
Example: AnyCmd.exe ripios f "C:\Folder Path\Folder\1234567890.iso"
AnyCmd.exe ripraw f "C:\Folder Path\Folder"
NOTE: rip options will create the target path if it does not exist.
* Feature not fully implemented.
AnyCmd : This is the initial release. I’m sure there are some bugs hiding in there somewhere but I can only do so much testing. I tried to make this a replacement tool for AnyTool2 and so I matched the command line format that AnyTool2 used. Since this is the first version I would have to actually call this a beta because there are still some things that I would like to fix or improve upon.
Note worthy:
rip VS. ripraw - Currently, these params do the same thing. I haven’t had a chance to put in the directory renaming stuff yet. This is how I understand the issue.
Useful in scripts: The behavior of the ripper is a bit of a problem for that because when ripping files it creates a folder based on the Media volume label. The problem is that a lot of media actually has no volume label so running several into the same target folder would cause them to clobber each others output. I am adding code to find the folder created and rename it DVD or DVD-001 etc. that way a script could rip from several drives sequentially.
enable – enable returns immediately after AnyDVD is enabled or launched. If AnyDVD is not running it will start it. If it start in a diabled state then it will try to enable it. I don’t see a reliable way on knowing when AnyDVD is done scanning and goes into its ready state. Some discs can take a long time to scan and if you have multiple drives or virtual drives this could take a while. If this becomes a problem with scripting let me know and I can work on it some more.
New feature: I have also added some new features
-log - Creates a log file in the same directory where you are running AnyCmd from.
-ow - Tells AnyCmd to answer Yes to the overwrite dialog box.
The tools tries its best to anticipate any dialog boxes that pop up but I’m sure there are a few situation I have missed so just let me know. This was mainly tested on XP and Windows 7.
You can email me at AnyCmdTool@gmail.com, post in this thread or PM me.
I’ll do my best to monitor this over the next couple of weeks and to fix any broken stuff.
Enjoy!
