Slysoft's AnyDVD is a famous tool to remove restrictions and regions code from DVDs when the disc is inserted into the drive, allowing you to backup your DVD movies with a DVD copy program. Have to say, it's relatively advanced with a number of great features but it's a little complicated, especially for a computer newbie. In addition, in order to copy your DVD movies to computer's hard drive or DVD disc, you need to install another backup tool. To simplify the DVD copying process, here an AnyDVD alternative to decrypt DVD copy protection and backup protected DVD movies is recommended.
This alternative to AnyDVD is Aimersoft DVD Copy. With it, you can fast copy and backup your DVD movies to your computer's hard drive as DVD folder/ISO image file or copy them to blank DVD discs bypassing DVD CSS, RC and RCE protection. And note that there is no Mac version for AnyDVD.

There are lies on this page. SlySoft's AnyDVD/AnyDVDHD can indeed "rip" either the full disc content or to an ISO image and for both DVDs and BluRays as it removes the protections and other studio stuff. AnyDVD is not an authoring tool so comparing it to products that burn or further convert/process is not only not fair but is a misrepresentation.
