Is it because I do not have the latest update of AnyDVD (7.6.9.5) is why some backups will only play on certain devices such as my sony dvd player and not my computer or sony blu ray player?
THIS IS THE CORRECT THREAD
First off double posting is not allowed.
Now;
No it has no effect on playability in a player as it doesn't burn or convert what so ever. That's due to your burning/conversion software and/or the speed you burn at and the disc type/brand your using. That really matters.
You could try cloneDVD available only from Elby . Download a trial and see if it plays the those copies.
AnyDVDHD only decrypts "on the fly" {which means ripping is not nessecery for decryption and is available for use in another program instantly after it sees the disc.}
If you rip it only makes a 1:1 copy to either a folder structure or a ISO (remember iso is not recommended for DVD'S but was added for HD). Use CloneDVD for that or another program.
The last SLYSOFT version ADvDHD is 7.6.9.5.
It should work for any dvd disc released up to the date of the .9.5. release.
For Blu-ray it must connect to the REDFOX OPD for all screenpass and any BD+ disc not already "seen" by your pc. If just AACS/MKB it should decrypt up to the last MKB version available at time of release.
60-61 I think.
Now the latest RedFox release is 8.0.3.0.
And works just fine . And has some great new features.
From one user to another.
I highly recommend anyone whose not purchased a RedFox license for AnyDVDHD yet please do so. I was just as unhappy as anyone else with death of SLYSOFTand my licensing, BUT i also understood what it would take for this great product to be able to continue to do what it does so well. Time is running out on the discount and I wouldn't depend on if it gets extended due to the MasterCard issues.
