SlySoft AnyDVD HD beta rips HD-DVDs
Remember the other day when we told you that hackers had cracked the AACS copy protection scheme on HD-DVD and Blu-Ray discs? Remember how I said it probably wouldn't take long for someone to wrap the hack into an easy to use GUI?Well, SlySoft is already out with a beta version of AnyDVD HD, a program designed to remove copy protection and region codes from DVDs and HD-DVDs, allowing you to create a backup copy of your disc. Sure, it's not legal in the U.S., but SlySoft's not an American company, so there you go.
AnyDVD HD beta only works with HD-DVDs at the moment, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Blu-Ray support added soon. The final version will likely carry a hefty price tag. AnyDVD runs $49, meaning you can expect AnyDVD HD to run at least as much.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

"No, now please, don't get too excited about that processing key - there is being much fuss made about it, I don't really understand why.
AnyDVD HD is not using this key, BTW."

Looks like you're right. But the more the merrier, I say. SlySoft's got their commercial solution in the works, and hopefully there'll be a free version based on the processing key soon as well.
