AnyDVD HD is a Windows program that automatically eliminates the constraints of DVD and Blu-ray media in the background by allowing read access to the contents of a movie as soon as it is placed into the drive. Your Windows operating system will recognize the DVD or Blu-ray and all programs installed on your computer, including DVD/Blu-ray backup software such as CloneDVD, CloneBD, and others, and will support any DVD or Blu-ray.
AnyDVD HD may optionally eliminate RPC region codes, allowing the movie to be played on any DVD/Blu-ray machine and with any DVD/Blu-ray playback software regardless of region.
AnyDVD HD can disable annoying movie elements like forced subtitles, forced delays, and no-skip markings, giving you complete control over your movie viewing experience. It also lets you open an external program whenever you insert or remove a disc, and it stops unwanted applications from starting automatically when you insert a video DVD.
AnyDVD HD doesn’t simply cure DVDs and Blu-ray discs; it also fixes audio CDs so you can play and listen to them. Without an HDCP-compliant graphics card or an HDCP-compliant display, AnyDVD HD enables you to view Blu-ray movies through a digital display connection. There’s no need to spend a lot of money on a monitor.
You may minimize the noise level while viewing movies on your PC by controlling the drive speed of your DVD drive. You may even alter your monitor’s display frequency for NTSC and PAL displays.
