In just over a week since SlySoft released the first version of AnyDVD HD to break BD+ on Blu-ray, SlySoft has released version 6.4.0.4 which supports a new version of BD+ currently used on Hitman. It shows just how quick SlySoft is at dealing with the latest copy protection measures, particularly with this new system that supposedly would take at least 10 years to break. However, as Hitman was already released before SlySoft released version 6.4 that broke through BD+, it remains to be seen just how much of a change will be made to the BD+ copy protection on upcoming discs to try increasing the time it takes to break the new version.
Other improvements to this version include the support of new structural protection used on a few DVDs, ability to start multiple instances of AnyDVD ripper, change settings during a ripping process, install AnyDVD without reboot, fixes an issue handling discs under Vista and fixes a few frame glitch issues with BD+ protected Blu-ray discs. AnyDVD 6.4.0.5 beta adds support for playback using Corel WinDVD 9, fixes a bug introduced in 6.4 when ripping certain structural protected discs and brings back the requirement to reboot after installation due to crashing issues with certain 3rd party drivers.
Changelogs and discussions for these new versions can be accessed in our 6.4.0.4 final and 6.4.0.5 beta threads on our AnyDVD forum section.
