SlySoft
sent out a press release earlier today, announcing the release of AnyDVD 6.1.8.4. This new version includes a number of new features,
including support for new copy protections, CSS brute force cracking and Slysoft's new Artificial Intelligence (AI) Scanner. This new
technology scans a DVD and automatically determines how to circumvent the copy protection. A full change log is listed
below.
With today's release of AnyDVD 6.1.8.4, SlySoft has once again delighted its customers with the delivery of
another masterpiece in the never-ending battle with manufacturers of DVD copy protection systems. The new Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Scanner analyzes the entire DVD within just a few seconds and through the utilization of voluminous rules and exceptions "decides"
dynamically exactly how to circumvent the copy protection on this particular DVD.
Giancarlo Bettini, SlySoft CEO, enthusiastically
sums up the achievement this way: "The AI Scanner in AnyDVD is a new, pro-active copy protection circumvention method. It allows the user
to make safety backups of his DVD movies even if the newest anti-piracy technology is used. It is our belief that the AI Scanner will
even work on protections yet to be released, so we see this as a future-proof technology. This is indeed a hard nut to crack for the
copy protection industry."
