This is correct.
This is not. It's deceptive, really. The wizards of Slysoft are so good at making AnyDVD transparent. We need to be clear about this...ripping an image is *NOT* sufficient. At some point in the chain AnyDVD needs to be active and work *ITS* magic on the protection. What my method is doing is simply delaying the inevitible. What I mean is, when you rip with AnyDVD enabled, the protection is removed transparently in the background. You don't see this magic happen because, like I said, the wizards of Slysoft make it so damn easy for us to use. But rest assured, there is a *GREAT* deal of magic happening under the covers that you will never see. So what I suggest is ripping a protected image. By itself, a completely unplayable encrypted mess. However, once again the wizards of Slysoft have made things a bit too easy for us. Because AnyDVD contains a database of known keys, the mounted image can be decrypted in the background and because James took special care in how the BD+ protection gets eliminated, that too can be done on a mounted image. It is impossible to determine the AACS title key from an encrypted image. The key database MUST be used. But this is all transparent making it deceptive as to what's really happening. Thanks, Slysoft wizards!!!
Hi SamuriHL,
Make no mistake, I can't appreciated enough and realized how much magic AnyDVD HD did for us in the background in order for us to back up BD in our HDD. But after I read your threads few time, I just don't see where is the AnyDVD came from your suggested method, that's why I am keep thinking I must not 100% understand perhaps I am thinking too much??? :bang: As usual please share with me if you can. Thanks!
