SlySoft's latest AnyDVD HD release strips BD+ from Blu-ray Discs

The title pretty much says it all here, folks. Just a few months after SlySoft revealed a beta of its AnyDVD HD software which obliterated BD+, v6.4.0.0 has finally arrived and proudly possesses the ability to "remove BD+ protection from Blu-ray Discs." Among the other changes is an option to enable / disable BD+ removal, a fix for seeing a black display with some BD discs and other minor DVD-related tweaks. Brimming with excitement? Hit up the read link below -- your next download awaits.

This is an interesting development. Let's see how resilient BD+ really is to cracking.

All discs, or just the ones out currently?

....ummmm, would be a bit hard to crack movies that aren't out yet!

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 20th 2008 8:13AM]

then it isn't truly cracked and this isn't news.

Currently, only Hitman isn't supported but the rest are. Do anything you want with them :)

I hope this is a resilient crack of BD+. BD+, BD-J and fluid profiles (and cost) are the primary drawbacks of the BD format. Not much we can do about BD-J or profile 1.x/2.x other than grin and bear it.

I look forward to being able to re-encode some of my BD collection into ipod and DVD formats for when I'm flying or driving on long trips.

I thought FOX said that this didn't exists and that they copies floating around the web were HD DVD rips from overseas. lol... now FOX lower your blu-ray prices like Warner to play nice...

BD+, yet another UNnecessary expense being passed onto the consumer by this *cough* wonderful format.

At the risk of my blog commentating life, I second that. And ask for mercy from the faceless mob of BR die hards.

Blu-ray is SO wonderful (no really it is) that it BEAT HD-DVD hands down.

Know there players are just EXPENSIVE DVD players.

Whatcha think about that Gus & Eddie? (Blu-ray movies aren't that much more expensive if you buy at amazon.com
