AnyDVD
Despite Hollywood's best efforts to trample your fair-use rights, there's no shortage of DVD copying utilities. But how many are stable, easy to use, and compatible with just about any DVD movie on the market? Enter AnyDVD, from SlySoft. This $49 utility works in the background to decrypt movie DVDs. And once they're decrypted, you can use any old DVD creation tool to, um, make backup copies. For an extra fee, you can even include support for HD DVD discs. — next: ConvertXtoDVD
