DVDFab Passkey is a program being developed by Fengtao Software. This program will directly compete with Slysoft AnyDVD. At this point in time it is in Beta testing and is being released for free!!!! However, after the Beta testing is completed, the program will have to be purchased.
I suggest we track this development. It may prove easier to crack than AnyDVD and, at the least, it is another option.
Overview of Passkey
"DVDFab Passkey works the same way as a background driver to remove the protections. It is powerful enough to work for both DVD and Blu-ray, and can remove all known DVD and Blu-ray protections just in seconds.
With Passkey, you can enjoy your DVD or Blu-ray without region limit and third party's help. And any other software is allowed to access the unprotected DVD/Blu-ray movies, so you can freely copy, clone, burn them or convert them to other formats according to your specific needs. You can also feel free with its flexible settings."
Decrypt Any DVD and Blu-ray Movies
"Remove all DVD copy protections, like CSS, CPRM, CPPM, RC, RCE, APS, UOPs, ARccOS, RipGuard, FluxDVD, CORE X2, etc.
Remove all known Blu-ray AACS and BD+ copy protections, Region Code, BD-Live, UOPs, MKB V18 and newest MKB V19"
Watch Any DVD and Blu-ray Movies Freely
"Allows you to watch any region DVD on your region specific DVD drive and player software.
Allows you to watch Blu-ray disc without HDCP-compliant graphics card and without HDCP-compliant display."
Flexible Settings to Edit Freely
"You can specify an application language from multiple available ones, decide whether or not to check for new edition automatically, and also can make other editing for your using convenience.
Freely change DVD playback order and remove annoying PGCs for the output movie with it."
