Its frustrating to find that the DVD or Blu-ray you want to watch doesn't play on your PC because it's protected by region code. In that case you can change the region code of the drive in order to play the disc, but it can be done only five times. When you have exhausted the number of changes, Slysoft AnyDVD comes in very handy. This application eliminates region code check and copy protection for DVD and Blu-ray discs irrespective of your optical drive's region code. In addition to this the software also offers other useful features such as skipping annoying advertisements and trailers thereby allowing you to jump to the movie as soon as you insert the disc. If the whirring noise from your optical drive distracts you, it is even possible to lower the motor speed of the optical drive.
