SlySoft
announced yesterday that the latest version of their mega-popular DVD
ripper,
AnyDVD
v5.9.5.6, now also removes Macrovision's CDS-300 copy protection mechanism.
Unlike most other protection methods removed by AnyDVD, CDS-300 can be only
found on audio CDs and the copy protection mechanism itself is similar to the
notorious XCP "root kit" copy protection from Sony. AnyDVD now removes CDS-300
from audio CDs and also prevents it (and similar copy protection mechanisms)
from installing to the computer where AnyDVD is installed.
I use AnyDVD + Nero Recode to back up my DVD's. Keep it up SlySoft!
