Floppyhead – Digital Media and Streaming

AnyDVD HD finally has added the ability to rip a movie directly to an ISO image. Before this latest version of the software, you had to use third party tools to make such an image. Adding a feature like ISO ripping to AnyDVD HD without an extra cost is a smart move by Slysoft and reinforces that AnyDVD HD is a valuable tool to anyone with a media center computer.

Here are the updates made in version AnyDVD HD 6.4.6.2:

* New: Added ISO/UDF image file creation to AnyDVD ripper
* New (Blu-ray & HD DVD): ISO/UDF images can be created with or without copy protection. Images can be mounted with Virtual CloneDrive(tm), available at http://www.slysoft.com
* New (Blu-ray & HD DVD): Improved speed of AnyDVD ripper
* Fix (Blu-ray): Bug in BD+ removal, if more than one title on a disc is protected, e.g. “Prison Break Season 3″, US
* Fix (Blu-ray): Bug in “Remove UOPs” with some titles, e.g. “AVP2″ Region B, (UK, Germany)
* Fix (DVD): AI scanner made a mistake with “The Eye”, Region 2, DK
* Some minor fixes and improvements
* Updated languages

ISO creation has been in strong demand since Cyberlink’s PowerDVD Ultra stopped playing Blu-ray movies saved in a “folder.” ISO images can be “loaded” virtually to trick PowerDVD into playing the disc.
