I for one ENJOY the frequent upgrades... what does it take, maybe 2 minutes to update the program? Keep 'em coming SlySoft 'cause you never know when we'll find a DVD we "can't" backup at 3:00 AM. ;)

Keep the upgrades coming,I think its great that when a problem or work around is found we get it first.Keep up the good work!!

I realize that many members/users delight in three upgrades a week, but I do not. I have many other things to do, and the excess upgrades just get in the way or get postponed because I am busy with other things. Could you please cut the number of upgrades down to no more than one per week?

bobholm,

If you are bored about all these updates, just disable the update check in AnyDVD and send a message to our support team (http://www.slysoft.com/contact.html) to unsubscribe the newsletter.

You can always ignore any updates that the SlySoft team has sent you. When you want to update, simply go to the website to obtain the newest version.
As an AnyDVD/CloneDVD user for many many months with literally thousands of backups behind me, I greatly appreciate the timely updates and the tremendous job they do at keeping the product the best on the market. They react almost immediately to all new attempts by the studios to thwart us.

I'm just guess that the ;) in the title meant this to be a tongue in cheek comment...

I don't care if I get three updates an hour. It shows me there's a true commitment to the customers. You don't have to install every one...just the ones that apply to your needs.

More like a minute for me. I only update when I need to (like just before backing up a disc) and not immediately when every update is announced.

Perhaps then if the update poster would indicate what problem the update is intended to solve, so that we users could pick and choose which updates to install more readily?

It's easy: check the history on the downloads page, just to the left of the download link.

If the purpose of a given update cannot be provided in the update notice, then I will update once a month and ignore the other updates. It's more like ten minutes thanks to having to reboot after each upgrade, which is a pain in the ass. I wish there were some way to get Slysoft to send me upgrades only once a month. I've had it with all the annoying interruptions.

Exactly. Disable the update check and simply rely on the emails. That'll reduce your time waste to the time it takes to delete an email. Personally, I have the download page bookmarked on the Personal Bar so I can get on with rebooting my system and grab the new version at my leisure.

And for the record, I'm loving the frequent updates! It shows such a rare and true dedication to the products; I wish the other 99.9% of the software I have was as dedicated.

:cool:

Not bored, just annoyed. I want the notice once a month, not three times a week.

28th January 2007, 04:14

Yes, I indeed agree the onus is on the user to decide if an update is needed. With so many changes being made to thwart a successful backup, I commend the crew at Slysoft for being on top of things and taking the initiative to improve the version in order that the user does not come across a snag in the middle of a much desired backup.

Keep the History segment alive and informative, I find that very helpful in making my decision as to whether to update immediately or just before I do a backup. :agree:

One question that I have never asked and that is if I don't d/l the new version can I skip it and simply d/l the next one when I believe that I will need it?
Thankyou.

I have no problem with the updates...Give them out as much as needed. Really the only way it's going to work right anyway. The guy unhappy about the updates doesn't have too update.....It's just not going to work for him like it should. Just turn off automatic updates....wait for your email about the update.....then update if you choose to or not to. Shazaam.... Takes care of your problem. Now there's nothing to be bored about. To all.......have a great day.

Without the "too frequent" updates, Slysoft would not keep up with the ever updating anti copy measures, and you would find a disc that you cannot backup, keep 'em coming Slysoft!

I've never had an issue with skipping updates. Essentially you are downloading the full version each time. ;)

Everyone has the option of downloading an update or not. It's all about whether you want to. But, in the end, a person who doesn't download updates as they come also forfeits the right to bitch about the fact that they can't successfully backup a DVD.

Indeed, you have to remember the updates are issued *for a reason* either they're to include changes in encryption system(s) and/or fix bugs.

At least it proves that AnyDVD is very much alive and well - and not abandoned by its authors like some other encryption software options ...

Fair play to Slysoft I say!

Last three updates were 26.1., 14.1., 4.1. and that's definitely not three times a week ;) I agree with others - keep the updates coming! (BTW. People who are unhappy with frequent updates are in most cases using pirated keys/cracks which are blacklisted with every new version...)

The definition of frequent updates also depends on if you consider beta releases to be updates.

Taking that into account there have been far more updates but as I said in an earlier post... the choice to update or not is with the user and if they don't want to they don't have to but can't complain about not being able to make backups with newer discs.

You have to be kidding, you're complaining about a company that responds lightning fast to changes in disc security? These guys are doing an awesome job. I've never before seen any company so responsive to its clients. Keep up the really great work. The updates take maybe 30 seconds to do and most of them don't require a reboot. It's awesome.

CD Freaks is great but if they offer an official forum for Slysoft products then I'd be crazy not to read it, eh? :D

I just happened to get home from the regular Saturday night fun and find a Slysoft email inviting me here. How could I possibly turn it down!!! ;)

:agree:

The support from Slysoft's AnyDVD is amazing. I've had it for years and I love it. I do wish it had the option to do automatic updates like symantec and windows do to make it a less manual process but that would be more of a "luxury" thing than anything else. I love the dedication though and have recommended this product for years... I wish I got money out of each referred customer! :bowdown: As an American living in Germany, I buy DVDs in a German store to save money since AAFES is way too expensive and overpriced. AnyDVD let's me play any region on my laptop and lets even legit people such as myself watch movies in English. Also, did we mention rootkits? I believe by having AnyDVD installed I have been saved on more than one occasion by Sony's nastiness and wannabee DRM tactics. Another bonus! AnyDVD also has a LIFETIME licensing agreement. WOW, it amazes me people would want to pirate AnyDVD when it's such a great deal. I spend more money going downtown on a Friday night! Again, KUDOS. WE LOVE YOU ANYDVD.

You are trying to pull my leg, aren't you? Updates are optional, you don't have to install them, you don't even have to read (or even receive) the e-mail announcements. What are you complaining about then, really?

For me having a high update frequency is a "Good Thing" (TM), and I hop SlySoft is keeping it that way

some people must be new to this game or just have memory loss. I remember, not so long ago that dvdxcopy was such a wonderful and quite costly program ($150.00 dollars u.s.) I might add. And shortly later their customer support went to being none existent.

Thanks Slysoft, keep the upgrades coming, everyday if need be. Some of us know how to appreciate real customer service and support!!!!!!!!!!:agree:

Don't forget that program was also located on US shores so it was subject to the laws of the US. If SlySoft were here, I'm sure it'd go the way of the MPAAsaurus.

I'd venture to say that the majority of us prefer receiving updates "Hot off the press", since that way we will be as "current" as possible, which translates into less visits to tech support or forums like this one when a particular movie cannot be copied. I for one appreciate the fact that Slysoft is constantly and consistantly improving their program. I wish other software vendors were that good!
BTW, most of the time AnyDVD updates do not require a reboot.
Good luck!

Latest update releases:
6.1.1.3 2007 01 26
6.1.0.7 2007 01 14
6.1.0.2 2007 01 04

So you have more than a week in between.

28th January 2007, 07:31

I agree with everyone here. The updates are more than welcome. Just a couple of suggestions though. Instead of having a pop-up in the centre of the screen saying there's an update, how about a pop-up balloon coming from the AnyDVD icon in the system tray. And when the main window of AnyDVD is opened, could you include a live-update option for those that want to check manually (this means they won't have to open an internet page). And while I'm here, could you try and work on the reboot situation? It does get a bit annoying having to reboot on almost every update now!

A nice new GUI would be nice and could push AnyDVD into it's 7th generation. We've been on the 6's for a while now!

And hi to everyone in the forum!

in my opinion the only way you could complain about all the updates is if you are using an illegal cracked version... those people should jsut stop whining and buy the program instead...

A "Silent update" feature is on my to-do list. But AnyDVD HD has more priority at the moment.

I'm not having any problems with (very) frequent updates. What bothers me though, it that AnyDVD can detect a new version, but just throws a dialog-box with a link to the homepage.

In my oppinon, it should be able to download and install updates by it self in the same manner as antivirus, for instance. It's even 'piece of cake' to implement.

JoeMac

28th January 2007, 09:18

That doesn't make it "easy". I read all the update notes, but I never know if they apply to the titles I want to copy.

Then just update AnyDVD before burning your next DVD copy, that way you will have the latest version instead of looking for the update feature that accommodates the title you are trying to copy. SlySoft has done an excellent job of making the DVD copy process fast, easy, and simple. Why do people always try to make it harder than it needs to be?:doh:

Just want to tip my hat to the dedicated staff at Slysoft....updates for the most part are a must to keep up with the all the cc and bad sector software out there....saw III for example was certainly a challenge....thnk you slysoft...keep the updates coming!!!
BTW.......all those "other" forums out there always talk about ANYDVD....there were some voices out there that said the techs at Slysoft were slacking specifically a week and a half before SAW III was officially released but you knew who the dedicated ANYDVD customers were caused they fired right back....the best $34 I ever spent....a one time fee and a lifetime of frequent updates...what more can you ask for...bottom line is buy the software!!!!

It also help against Software Piracy,

The more often the releases, the more the crackers have to update, the more they will get bored.

Also, with the piracy users, they will get board with finding cracks and just decide to buy the software or not use it.

No problems with daily updates here! :clap:

I'll take all the updates you want to send to me. The trade off of "Bothersome" updates versus 100% burns is worth it. The updates are NOT bothersome to me, their a godsend. I suppose if I had to vote on something to change maybe it would be a ballon in toolbar versus the popup (which is NOT a problem) and the easier one click update (which is also not a big deal). I love you the way you are but can accept change if need be.

The updates are simply the software's counter-move to the distributors 'last' move to prevent any successful copies. I for one, applaude SLYSOFT for going toe-to-toe with these folks to counter their attempts to protect my DVD collection.
Its too simple NOT to apply the upgrade whenever there is one available.
But,..if you want to try and make your copy without the latest and greatest, then you can expect a potential of a failure, and then you have no one to blame but yourself for not getting and staying current.
Not trying to flame anyone here, but youur logic escapes me.
Just my 2 cents worth.

patrickp

28th January 2007, 10:36

I must say that I'm puzzled by the vociferous nature of the responses of some people to this. I find the frequency of updates annoying, and I've been using Slysoft software, and before that Elby's CloneCD, for five years or so now, and I've paid for all of it - including having to re-purchase CloneCD over again fromSlysoft. Just because I find the frequency of updates to be more than I need, I object to suggestions that I must be a pirate.

However, unlike those people, I'm prepared to consider other people's POVs, and I can understand the value of the frequency of updates to them. What I would suggest (and I've noticed that Slysoft _are_ working on automatic updates - not that those will be much use to me unless they can run in non-administrative accounts) is that Slysoft a) grade the importance of their updates, say, on a scale of 1 to 5, and b) let people set the level of notification according to this. This would seem to me to be a pretty reasonable solution, not difficult to implement, and should work for those who want every update they can get, and those who don't want them so frequently.

Quite honestly, although I find AnyDVD extremely useful, I find myself asked to update more frequently than I have a need to copy DVDs, and just for the region defeating capability, I could use DVD Region Killer quite happily - and do on other machines - although I must admit that, living in Europe, the region defeating capability, whatever software provides it, is absolutely essential.

locoeng

28th January 2007, 10:46

I can't understand all of the moaning...you don't have to update just because you are prompted to. I only ever update when I run into a problem that requires an update. If Slysoft rarely offered updates all of you paying subscribers would be shouting that "they don't care about their customers, what a ripoff!" And then everyone who was having problems with Saw 3 and all of the other problems movies in the past would be left out in the cold, looking for another way to make your backups. The updates are essential to keep these programs working the way that they are supposed to.

My two cents.

Ade 1

28th January 2007, 10:54

Hi.

Although AnyDVD has to be most updated app on my PC I've got no problem with the frequency of the updates. For me, seconds to download and install, 30 secs to reboot and back to business.

This has got to be the first time I've ever heard ppl complaining about a product being kept up-to-date. Usually the complaints are to how infrequently products are updated.

Guess you can't please everyone!

Cloned dvd

28th January 2007, 11:01

With movies being released each Tuesday, I am sure they could only post updates once a week, but why?

What does it hurt to have them offer updates more often?

Just because they offer the updates, that does not mean you have to take time out of your busy day to download the program and install it.

Let's face it, some people just don't have the 45 seconds to do so.

We understand.

If some SlySoft AnyDVD users don’t like the frequent releases of update improvements to the AnyDVD software program these individuals can chose not to install these releases. No one is forcing anyone to use the update improvements releases.

If these individuals would bother to take a close review the Change Logs of these releases they would see that SlySoft isn’t just Willy Nilly releasing update improvements to the AnyDVD software program. There are valid well-documented reasons for these update improvements releases.

These short sighted individuals instead of complaining about the frequent update improvements releases should be taking the effort to thank the SlySoft Technical Staff for their outstanding efforts in keeping the SlySoft software products at the cutting edge of the quickly and ever changing technology.

I for one warmly welcome the update improvements releases that SlySoft provides to their customers.

SlySoft thanks for the outstanding efforts in keeping your software products at the cutting edge of technology. Please keep up with good work!

....ahh, music to my ears, James. :clap: now, if we could just afford one of those new expensive HD burners. BTW, I appreciate "all the Options available" with Any Dvd. As long as there are "options", one can chose when & how to do whatever they wish with your upgrades & features. Good Job !!!:bowdown:
Burner? What for? Just get the XBOX360 HD-DVD drive and a biiiig harddisk!:D
Seriously, AnyDVD HD is a *must have* if you want to watch HD DVDs on PCs.
At least it will save a lot people buying a new monitor and a new graphic card - with AnyDVD HD no HDMI/HDCP capable cards / monitors are required.

Debra

28th January 2007, 13:59

I agree with Coaster. The fact that we are given updates at such a fast rate speaks well of Any DVD. As fast as they put new security on a dvd Any DVD breaks their code. What can be wrong with that? Several people I know have "shrink" are constantly having problems recording newer dvd's.

alanpal

28th January 2007, 14:06

In reading the e-mails the far majority are in favor of the updates to keep the program working. We paid good money to have such a program as AnyDVD and it would be a disservice to us all if it only worked for a short time. Better for the inconvience of having to reboot the computer than not to be able to use the program at all in a short period of time due to the studios who keep changing the rules. Why did you buy the program in the first place if you did not intend SlySoft to keep us up with current updates. There are thousands of people out there with different movies to copy so it is a necessary evil to update the program for what it does.

Burner? What for? Just get the XBOX360 HD-DVD drive and a biiiig harddisk!:D
Seriously, AnyDVD HD is a *must have* if you want to watch HD DVDs on PCs.
At least it will save a lot people buying a new monitor and a new graphic card - with AnyDVD HD no HDMI/HDCP capable cards / monitors are required.

Wow! Ok James, I'm starting to drool already... :bowdown:

Hi All,
I believe, as do others, that the frequent upgrades really do show commitment from SlySoft. It is great to see that our investment into software as useful as AnyDVD is constantly updated with new features and encryption defeating methods.

I must say that what makes upgrades "a pain" as others have referred to is that updates come in the form of a full install pack. I for one would love to see an auto update mechanism, similar to that of Window Update. Sometimes when we download the install pack to upgrade our installs we dont even have to reboot because perhaps the patch was minor. I would love to see a feature like this to update all SlySoft products, I really think it would compliment them. What do you all think?

Charlie
This would be a very nice feature as you have said but implementing it is another story. When updates are needed we try to get them to you as soon as possible. We even e-mail you and have an auto announcement feature when you boot your computer to tell you of an update. With all the new protections being released we are doing the best we can to keep you informed and happy. I hope you understand. Thanks for your interest and input.:clap:

I've never seen such commitment to customers like I'm seeing with SlySoft. Good work guys and gals and keep the updates coming.

Hi SlyFox 1,

And may I say I (and most of us) really appreciate these frequent updates! I can imagine what it would take to implement such an auto update feature, perhaps this could be considered for a future major release?

I'm glad Slysoft has this forum, great idea!

I've been an AnyDVD/CloneDVD user for awhile now and I couldn't be happier with the products. The best DVD backup program available and easiest to use IMO (and in many other people's opinions from what I can see).

I'm glad these guys keep updating on new encryption schemes to often, without that I wouldn't be able to backup the new movies I have since Sony and the production studios like to come out with new protections schemes on almost every new movie released nowadays.

Keep up the great work, couldn't ask for a better product!

Slysoft > All :bowdown:

Perhaps then if the update poster would indicate what problem the update is intended to solve, so that we users could pick and choose which updates to install more readily?

If you want to pick and choose that takes time also, as you are a very busy person why not backup your DVD collection monthly, that way you only backup once a month. ;)

I rather have too frequent of updates than barely ever having updates at all. It's not like you have to get the newest update the same day it comes out.

I don't know of even one other software vendor out there that offers as much support and as many updates for its registered users. Their updates are quick and easy to install and, while not having to re-boot every time might be nice, I think it's a VERY MINOR inconvenience to have to do so. Especially, when we consider how great their software is and the amount of effort that must go into getting the updates posted as quickly as they do. Keep up the great work!

if you dont want to install upgrades as they come out just ignore them until you need to use any dvd then load the latest version and it will include all the updates that you failed to load.

Hi. I have a very small software company that sells "electronic signature" software. And I can tell you from experience that offering updates is very time consuming(developing to beta testing). I would bet it would be much easier for Slysoft to offer updates less frequently but it seems they are very dedicated to there "software" and "customers". So you guys get a big thumbs up from me...keep the updates coming....Tony

I appreciate the efforts of all at slysoft to keep the software up to scratch , i have now adopted a wait and see so that i am not constantly updating when there is an update and then a fix for the update which i know despite all the checks bugs do happen , 99 per cent of the time alls fine! but no one should expect 100 percent the team do an excellent job keep up the good work slysoft:clap:

Updates too frequent??? I guess they release new movies (every Tuesday here in the US) too frequently as well. Seems lately each week there's a new wrinkle in the protection schemes the studios are using. Thank you Slysoft for staying on top of these and providing the best customer service support there is. Keep the updates coming!!!!!!!!

I agree with DaveInCampbell - i would welcome any updates that improve my software's capabilities, and Slysoft does exhibit a genuine interest in constant improvement - example - these forums

constant upgrades are what makes any dvd a value...any other system is out of date in a month

Too frequent updates?!?!?! Are you kidding me? the reason why Slysoft updates frequently is to stay upto date with the new security used by the movie studios! Every Tuesday new movies are released on DVD here in the US and almost everytime I encounter some new security protection. instead of waiting around for a month to backup my DVD's, I simply go and download the update provided by Slysoft and Voila! Back in business!

I love Slysoft! Simply because they truly care about their product and their customer. I mean which other company has a forum where people from their development team come and help you out with their products and answer NOOB questions?

I update my software whenever they get stuck while backing up, if they dont get stuck then I keep going without updating. You dont have to update every single time Slysoft releases an update! And as other people have earlier suggested, you can just rely on the emails for the updates, or if you dont want to do that either than anytime the software gets stuck, just simply go to the website and download a new version!

ALL HALE SLYSOFT! :bowdown: ALL HALE SLYSOFT! :bowdown: ALL HALE SLYSOFT! :bowdown:

I'm with the 99.99999999999999999999999999% majority. Keep those updates coming. I absolutely love the fact that you guys try to keep pace with the onset of new encryption!

Instead of telling the person he is crazy for not liking the frequent updates, why not simpily just tell him how to prevent them. Not everyone makes a living out of copying their DVD collection and they do not need the frequent updates.

Though I like the updates, I don't need them as often as they come out. I do donwload and save every update, but might not install an update until needed and the update reminder becomes annoying after the first time.

What would really be great is a way to tell the update popup to not popup again for that version. That way it wouldn't keep popping up all the time after the initial notification.

I feel a ten page thread on this topic has probably served it's function: within here you can find the answer on how to disable "automatically check for new Anydvd version", plus other alternatives (like checking the "history" to see if you want to update on Slysoft's website).
