Thanks for all the replies. For some reason I never received an email notice indicating that new replies had been posted. I have looked at Plex and some other media center substitutes but haven't found anything that works well for my needs. I basically backup my DVD/BD collection as ISO files on...

So before I get a ton of irrelevant answers yes I understand anystream allows me to DL streaming content I have access to for watching later when it is convenient for me in an unprotected MP4. What I am asking is if I can use anystream as a UI allowing me to also playback the content either by...

The way it has been explained and seems to work is this: 1. AnyDVDHD, the program, can decrypt all DVDs and most/all BD discs released prior to the current release. Sometimes a BD disc will not work with the current release and you will need an updated AnyDVDHD. You do not need to be online to...

In the old days they just used air. Helium will leak even through the metal case. The argument out there is that you would replace the drive because it grew out of space, failed due to other reasons, became unusable in newer systems (e.g. interface change), etc. before the helium leaked enough...

Sorry had just finished watching something on a car show and had Nitrogen on the mind LOL! Yes helium. The helium will leak out.

Any of those drives are asking for trouble. They are all nitrogen filled AFAIK. There is no way to keep the nitrogen from leaking out. They will all eventually crash. I stick to a traditional RAID 6 setup w/ 20 4 TB HDDs for the NAS. Even then I worry because the build times on such a large...

O.k. Thanks for the info guys. Yes, I had consider the dual backup option but space becomes an issue with 50gb isos (my home made NAS has an insane amount of space but 50gb a disc eats things up fast) and I don't even have UHD! Also making an unprotected backup and watching it all the way...

Hello, In the past, IIRC, the recommendation was to keep the protection when making ISO backups of BD/HD disks. As long as AnyDVD is running there would be no issues with playback in the future and in case something was updated new versions would handle it. Is this still the recommendation...

O.k. as a final update for anyone who looks at this thread - I just rebuilt my HTPC with Win7SP1 clean install. Did a brand new install of the latest AnyDVD (as of this writing) and the OPD. Disconnected completely from network and loaded up a backup BD ISO of a movie released early this year...

Not necessarily. I have seen many pieces of software that simply say OS not supported because they (or more usually Microsoft) has dropped support for that OS. This is true specially when it is a minor revision update (i.e. 5.5.0.0 works but 5.5.1.0 doesn't) vs a major update (4.0 to 5.0). I got...

Hello All, The update note for Virtual CloneDrive 5.5.1.0 states "Change: Windows 2000 is no longer supported". Does this mean the program won't install/work on Windows 2000 or that there is no tech support given even though the program will run on Windows 2000? I ask because I want to make...

James, Thank you for the clarification. That confirms what I suspected and thanks again for releasing the OPD file to provide a bit of insurance in uncertain times ;)!

Read which emphasis? Yours or James'? Yours says one hting the one quoting James says another Can you point me to the thread or posting where he says the above? Because what he says in this thread, post #6 is that it would handle all bd releases up to the release date of the release date of...

Pushing what? I just want clarity. Having opposing/contradictory answers in the same thread is good for no one.

This completely contradicts what James said earlier in this thread (emphasis mine). He indicates in posts #6 that Emphasis mine again. It sounds like the AnyDVD version is what is important and the OPD has become static since there are no new BD+ discs. He also says that he hopes to never...

So I found this thread and it made things less clear. The file in this thread is that supposed to be the OPD? Or is this just a subset of the OPD? The thread I linked to also reinforces the bit about a cache being created locally each time a disc is scanned the first time. So which is it? Is...

O.k. I am confused. So this is only for BD+? For other BDs we still need an internet connection? Or are those also addressed w/ AnyDVD updates? My concern is in case of another disaster like we had a few years ago. Having to rely on a central server to keep the program going has always been a...

Cool. So how about questions 1-3? Or the question in the post script? Don't get me wrong. I appreciate you taking the time to clarify but honestly most of the issues I bring up could be easily addressed in a sticky FAQ that would help everyone out and reduce workload for mods and volunteers.

Coopervid, Which subject? I don't believe I have touched on anything that has not been mentioned/discussed in some capacity before either in this thread or others on the board. Even if there is something that is "inappropriate" I am good with that but it would be nice for mods to chime in and...

Really? No one can answer any of these questions? Or is it that everyone is worried abut getting Corona on the forums :D
