ATOK: A Japanese input method editor developed by JustSystems (www.justsystems.com). Many people use the same kind of thing named MS-IME developed by Microsoft, which comes with every version of Microsoft Windows OS Japanese edition. ATOK is better and more efficient software, but you need to pay about 60 dollars or so. The Japanese writing system consists of a set of 48 kana characters and another set of 48 katakana characters, plus a set of 2,136 regular Chinese characters as well as about 50,000 less common Chinese characters. A computer key board does not have that many keys. So we need to pick characters from a pronunciation. How to use it: you write a pronunciation by using the English alphabet, for example. Then press the space key and ATOK will show several choices that match that pronunciation. You press the Enter key when you find the fitting choice. ATOK is that kind of program, so it probably does not conflict with AnyDVD. If it does, many Japanese users cannot use AnyDVD.

If I type kimono, I get eleven choices from ATOK. Microsoft IME or MS-IME shows eight choices, and most of them are useless.

ARK: A backup software like Acronis True Image, but much easier to use. Developed by ARK Information Systems (www.ark-info-sys.co.jp), it backs up the entire system drive and later restores it from a backup file it created. The one I installed in the computer at hand is Version 12 (ARK HD Revolution Backup 12). The task manager shows that it is running in the background. That is probably because it can also back up any drive regularly, but I have not set up a backup schedule, so I do not think it is doing anything in particular. It is difficult to imagine that it conflicts with AnyDVD.
ATOK is OK but I would try to run AnyDVD without ARK being active. We just recently had a similar issue with Nero BackItUp - also a backup software.

I did that, but nothing changed. It looks like playback starts after five to ten minutes. Pretty useless.

I tried to copy the Too Young to Die blu-ray to a hard disk with all the options checked. Nothing changed. It still takes five minutes to play the movie.

I don't understand what you say. You start the movie in VLC and it takes 5 minutes until the movie starts playing??? This is the ISO ripped and loaded in VirtualCloneDrive? Please elaborate.
 
In my opinion playing back Bluray folder structures in VLC is not a very good practice.
You should recode the contents of the BluRay with something like CloneBD so you have one file for each episode.
Or use MakeMKV to remux the episodes to separated files.

My guess would be that the delay you experience is from some blanked file that VLC still plays in full length before the Anime ... maybe some menu or trailer.
As @Ch3vr0n pointed out, you should not enable all options in the settings menu...
And if you really have to play it back with VLC, use the "Open Disc" item in the menu and select "Blu-ray"

That is exactly what is happening here. I start the movie in VLC, and it takes 5 minutes for the movie to start playing.

Thank you. I will look into this matter.

Is AnyDVD compatible with Daemon Tools?

Why Daemon tools? You should still describe your whole process how you want to do the playback. Still not clear.

I have already installed Daemon Tools in my computers. I want to know whether that virtual drive tool can be used in this case.

I have two purposes. Some of my discs are already deteriorating. Soon I will not be able to play them. In fact several of my discs have already lost data in it. They cannot be played anymore. I need to back up all of my DVD and blu-ray discs as soon as possible.

Then I want to play those DVD and blu-ray contents (movies and anime) stored in my hard disks on my computers and see them on a large computer display.

I am trying to find a way to do all this.

I need to back up my system now to experiment with PowerDVD to see how it works with AnyDVD, so I will be away for a while, maybe until tomorrow. Thank you for your attention. I really appreciate it.
 
You are supposed to list HOW you do that. Rip to ISO. Load with VCD. Play virtual disc with VLC for example.
 
AnyDVD seems to work very well with PowerDVD.

All the problems seem to have been resolved, only I have no plan to use that junk software.

I need a time search function and a shortcut key for it.
Only VLC media player seems to have that feature.
 
So do you now have all the data ripped from the DVD/BD to hard disk?
If so, how about an easy solution...
Look for MKVToolnix-GUI ... with that program you can easily extract movies/episodes from the DVD/BD folder structure on your hard drive.
As a result you have one MKV file for each movie/episode which you only need to doubleclick to open it in VLC
 
I updated the graphic driver, and most problems were resolved.
I will look into other matters.
 
I thought most problems had been resolved, but they have not.

A Windows XP computer was able to play blu-ray contents on a hard disk, but a few days later it can't.
Another Windows XP computer of the same machine type has been able to play them.

I don't get it.

I will install Windows 7 on that Windows XP computer to see if it can play the blu-ray contents on a hard disk.

In the meantime, I found a college document saying blu-ray discs cannot be played on a computer. I am beginning to understand that those in a whatever blu-ray controlling association do not want us to see blu-ray discs on a computer.
 
Windows XP? Really??
When XP was released, the specifications of BluRay were not even clarified... the first BDs were available in 2006 ... 5 years after XP release.
The extended support was ended 2014
IMO you are very lucky that VLC is still supported on that system.
Windows 7 is also several years out of support.
That being said ... just extract the videos from the BD structure as I mentioned in #33 and you should be fine on any system

I don't think VLC supports XP anymore, I would say that she uses an outdated version. But I would have to check if that really is the case.
And yes, XP... why? Yes, I hesitated to move from 7 to 10, as I liked the UI, but then I moved and now I have W11 on both machines. And even on my 10-year old laptop, it is running without any issues. You might not want to go to W11 if you don't know how to circumvent the TPM crap, but it is save to install W10 (and switch from HDD to SSD, that will speed you up quite a bit).
If you have any questions, I have re-installed Windows several times already, so I can give you tips. If you don't want to get W10 because of the Store, all the pre-installed Apps and stuff, you can get rid of that and disable automatic updates for both the store and W10 itself, so it doesn't reboot when you are in the middle of a game or you have to wait for it to install the updates when turning it on to quickly check for something important.
