Download AnyDVD 6.6.2.3

SlySoft has released version 6.6.2.3 of AnyDVD. This program runs in the background in Windows and is able to bypass the region and copy protection of DVD, HD DVD and Blu-ray discs on the fly. It is also able to skip ‘mandatory parts’, such as copyright and FBI warnings. Finally, the speed of the drive can also be adjusted to reduce the noise produced during playback.

A license of AnyDVD costs 41 euros, while the HD version has to pay 63 euros. Previously you had a lifetime license for this, but since January 1, 2009 this has been converted to a license that is only valid for one year. This can be extended for a few euros more, for example 49 euros for a two-year standard edition. Since then, a ‘temporary’ discount of 20 percent has been given on the purchase price and until now that discount period has been extended each time. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

New:

• (HD DVD & Blu-ray): Faster response time when changing settings during scan in progress
• (Blu-ray): Updated decryption keys
• (Blu-ray): Added support for new BD+ protections
