Softpedia Editor's Review for CloneDVD
|
Copies movies in unparalleled picture quality, fast and easy to use
Written by Elena Opris on December 13th, 2011
CloneDVD is a small and powerful tool that you can use to make DVD copies with great image quality.
The interface of the program is easy to navigate through, whether you are a first-time or advanced user. You can either select to copy DVD titles, clone a DVD (including all titles and menus) or burn data to disc.
After you select the input directory of the DVD you want to copy, you can preview the movie in fast forward, in a small window integrated in CloneDVD's interface.
Furthermore, you can view the the title number, play time, number of chapters and audio settings for the video titles, as well as video format, audio stream and subtitles, in the Information tab. Plus, it's possible to trim chapters in the video preview mode.
You can select titles, the output format - DVD-5, DVD+/-R DL, Mini DVD, DVD-RAM, CD-R or custom - and adjust quality, after which you have to select audio streams, subtitle language, output method (DVD file, ISO/UDF image, DVD writer), give a name to the volume label, and finally set the output destination.
A task takes a reasonable amount of time to complete, after which you are notified by a popup window with sound. CloneDVD manages to maintain a very good image and sound quality, while using a low amount of system resources.
We have not encountered any problems during our tests, and the program comes with a well-drawn help file. All it needs are some additional editing options. Even so, we strongly recommend CloneDVD to all users.
