Softpedia Editor's Review for CloneDVD 2
|
Fast and easy-to-use DVD cloner
Written by Elena Opris on November 16th, 2011
CloneDVD is a ripping tool that you can use to copy DVDs, just in case something bad happens to them. For example, if they got scratched, destroyed or lost, you would like a copy in exchange, right?
After a brief installation process, you will notice the user interface is quite friendly, and we liked the fun image of the two happy, laid back sheep that wear 3D glasses while eating popcorn at the movies.
There aren't too many options or additional features in CloneDVD. The 21-day trial version lets you copy DVD titles, clone a DVD (including all its titles and menus), or write existing data (by processing or writing DVD files and ISO/UDF files).
In the Preferences section you can set CloneDVD to automatically check for a newer version, use file system instead of internal I/O, overwrite rewritable media, enable auto-selection for removed streams, loop titles when copying without menus, or select a Wave file as the preferred sound for successfully completing a task, failing a task, or when waiting for media change.
Tasks are done very quickly, and CloneDVD manages to maintain the sound and graphics quality of a DVD movie.
Moreover, the application consumes little system CPU and memory resources. And we couldn't help but notice the low price for the license.
These being said, CloneDVD proves to be an excellent tool for copying DVD files, and you definitely need it if you plan to have a great movie collection in the near future.
