• AnyDVD HD Beta

  Looks like the folks over at Slysoft have taken advantage of the newly discovered HD DVD processing key to enable AnyDVD to now be able to backup HD DVD.  I've not tried this personally but use their regular AnyDVD software and it works quite well, if this works as good I think they just hit a big home run for anyone looking to rip HD DVD to their hard drives.  Check this post on their forum for all the details and how to snag a beta copy.  http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=1281 Cross Posted from My Media Center Blog Posted Feb 15 2007, 09:03 AM by mabrown with no comments
