Slysoft has closed down
SlySoft has shut down its website and ceased sales of the popular Blu-ray ripping software AnyDVD
Very, very annoying for people who like to play DVDs and Blu-ray discs through their HTPC. |

I used to use MakeMKV for remuxing so I can do various editing and playing around in AVS.
But then DVDFab had a couple giveaway events to hand out free Lifetime Pro versions of their Passkey. Which operates like AnyDVD-HD but is separate from other DVDFab encoders and tools. I'll probably buy MakeMKV when it's out of BETA. I was so glad DVDFab had their promos. AnyDVD-HD for life was too pricy and didn't really like the idea of paying any less until I could buy lifetime. It's good there's more options out there.

Trying to find an alternative now... I had Anydvdhd lifetime for years now. That to rip and BD-Rebuilder to convert to MKV was great.
I got a license for DVDFab Passkey when they were giving them out free. Going to have to reach out to their support because there are issues with it working and listing any drive as a source to rip from, even though they are listed in the settings screen. What other options are there to rip and feed to BD-Rebuilder? |

I wonder why they didn't register their company in more "civilized" countries like Russia or China?
BTW. Is MakeMKV a Russian project?

It would appear so, yes.

AnyDVD did not require a phone home to decrypt. There was an online decryption database, but that was for recently released discs. Those new decryptions would then be put into the local database of the newest versions of the program. So if you always kept it updated to the latest version you would not technically need the online database. Last edited by Video Dude; 24th February 2016 at 22:54. |

If they are truely gone for good, usefulness of any old version will degrade every day, so while it gives you some time before action is required, alternate solutions would be advised. There is already reports from some people that can't open some discs anymore, fwiw.

I'm rather surprised they caved in now. They are based in Antigua and develop software that's perfectly legal there, is it not?

Everybody needs to switch to DVDFab, extract those VUKs with FindVUK and share them with AACS Updater! |
