Tyler when I tried CloneDvd all I got was any error message saying that the disk I was trying to copy was copyright protected and wouldn't let me back it up. I'm a big fan of CloneCD and have used it for quite a while and was disappointed with CloneDvd when I tried it.
So basically AnyDvd blocks this and allows CloneDvd to view the disk as unprotected and allows a backup to be made. The people buying DVD X COPY since the 26th of Feb may need that because the court made them remove the ripper function from the program.
I use the Express part of DVD X COPY 99% which removes the menus and such but most of the stuff I backup is for my kids, they're hell on dvd's and cd's, and the quicker the movie starts playing the better.
Thanks for the info I'll have to give it another and I'll check out the previous link too.
