@Belthazor: Why not just get RPC firmware for your burner and do away with the need for AnyDVD full stop? There are a few sites out there that provide the software and full details on how to do it- i havent had a problem with any of the dvd burners i have patched 
Whilst region free patches will will allow you to play disks from any region, it does not remove the encryption/css making them impossible to copy without tools like DVDDecrypter/Smartripper.
I haven't heard of AnyDVD before, just checked out thier site. Seems like a very useful driver, as it decrypts DVDs on the fly, so any program, even "official" software like Nero Recode can read the DVD directly without needing to rip it to the HDD first.
EDIT: Oooh, and it removes PU-OPS on the fly
So DVD discs can't force me to watch annoying parts
