Wooooot let the games begin

was waiting for this software If it is as good as CloneCD for CD copying it will be the best software out there

What can this tool do that other already released DVD copy tools can't?
I've gone past the waiting stage for this product and am very happy with a program that is FREE...DVD shrink

Hi,

It's done .

I like DVDShrink as well but CloneDVD is an all in 1 package, no need to decrypt or use another burning engine. Ollie and the gang always do a solid job.

Only disappointing thing is that given the alternatives on the market, I think the pricing is a bit on the high side and could hold it back. Finding the sweet spot is never an easy process and sometimes requires revising things.

I'm surprised there haven't been any reviews. Always good to have a couple on launch day.

You still need a decrypter since CloneDVD (on its own) does not copy encrypted DVDs:

NOTE: CloneDVD does not backup copy-protected DVDs! Many DVDs are Content Scrambling System (CSS) encoded, which is a copy-protection file system. If a DVD is CSS-encoded then the DVD reader will refuse to access the disc. Therefore CloneDVD cannot read the files and make a copy.

Due to the NDA we couldn't release a review of the software.. Don't forget there's a manual on the Elby website which explains how you should use the software.

Meh, I must have read something wrong oh well.

Already got a critical error WriteDVD 09.

two questions :

CloneDVD does not copy encrypted DVDs and........ever will ?

Any help for the people been waiting till today for recommended writers.

Folks !

Elby will never implement decryption into CloneDVD to avoid any legal issues. Just use DVD Decrypter for that task.

As for the DVD writer, how much can you afford? If you got money, get a combo drive, Sony or Lite-On... I don't know why people want EFM on their DVD writer, it's a freaking DVD writer, not a CD reader. But whatever. I'd got for the NEC ND-1100A DVD+R for budget DVD writer.

Hi Stoner,

DVD decryption and CD protection aren't the same stuff ? isn't it ?
is it possible, after Clone CD, they were intimidate do not release another piece of software ?

about recorders:
there are some to avoid ?
I mean....to prevent bad purchase

thanks a lot

Yes, they are different. DVD encryption atm is easy to crack, but given time, it could be as difficult as the current array of damn CD protections.

I can't speak for the other DVD writers since I haven't used them, but I can vouch for the NEC ND-1100A, which has been a gem. The thing w/ format selection is first figuring out what your stand alone DVD player plays. I know Sony plays DVD+R, so I bought a DVD+R writer. Some people don't want to 2nd guess, so they bought dual format writer.

Does it mean that CloneDVD will never be able to copy protected DVD's???????

Never say never..
