Has anyone used iSky copy suite from iskysoft.com?

Just wondering if anyone knows or has used the iSky copy suite from iskysoft.com? It seems like it is the best solution for the Mac, sort of like "AnyDVD" for Windows.

No, but I would be surprised if its even close. As far as ripping goes, AnyDVD is truly the gold standard of rippers. Nothing on the mac even comes close imho.

Please explain to me what makes this software different than Handbrake.

Thanks in advance.

Handbrake is an encoder which can also "ignore" some copy protection schemes. AnyDVD specializes in actually ripping. Typically if AnyDVD cannot get you a usable file output, nothing can.

This software also does some of what AnyDVD does as well, I am trying it out now and so far it seems pretty impressive. AnyDVD is still the standard.

Dyna - Do you know of any easy way to use AnyDVD to rip files for your DVD backups and then copy over to mac and convert to Apple TV or iPod? I was thinking you could use Fusion or such and then run AnyDVD on it. Then take the file over to native Mac OS and convert it to any format using one of the software programs? What do you think is best for this?

So, then how is this software different than MacTheRipper?

Thanks in advance.
