Yeah, that's why I sent a message to the list, the new version does the same thing. Amazing how such a perfect program has to be updated!

Re: [H] AnyDVD
Personally, I like the great support. It has to be frequently updated to counter the latest anti-copy schemes on the latest releases. Hey, I bought it why shouldn't I be able to rip or copy it? DRM is anti-consumer IMHO and does nothing to stop the real pirates profiting off the work of others.

Re: [H] MS dot-NET
Scott, I'll accept intuit also! Yes, it seems that the MS service packs offered only play nice from 1-N. But, I will test this belief this afternoon. I'll share results also. The new build has now done 5x 24/7 cycles w/o a single hiccup or BSOD. What I suspected as a wonky HD may have been a bad keyboard and a sagged psu.

I'm not a big movie fan anymore like I was in years past but I've been using AnyDVD and now AnyDVD HD for years. In fact, I bought into the unlimited forever updates when they changed to yearly subscriptions or whatever it is they're doing now. Having said that, there has only been one movie that I've ever had problems with. A real movie collector would of course run into problems more often but have you contacted Slysoft support and let them know about the problems you're having?

I don't understand why you want a raid controller. Are you really doing anything that is disk i/o bound? or is it to keep from losing data?

Re: [H] Pending conversion?
Onboard 'raid' is like using 'mspaint' for professional photo editing. Just because it's there doesn't mean you should use it. Most onboard raid is utter garbage and can end up doing more harm than good. I would choose software raid over cheap onboard garbage any day. In fact, software raid isn't a bad idea here Duncan, however you will need a 'server' OS like win2k3/2k8.
