wanted to know if clone dvd was any better than dvd x copy platinum, is it as user freindly and will it copy the whole movie onto 1 disc
I could talk pros and cons but the best would be for you to use Clone2's 21 day trial and see for your self. Don't forget X-Copy is $130+ and the Anydvd/Clone2 combo is only $49 right now. http://www.slysoft.com/en/ Personally I think Clone2 is an excellent program while X-Copy is a real dogs breakfast.
I agree with PPower. I've only ran across one dvd in the last 3 months that dvd decrypter would not rip (new sony encryption). Personally I would use dvd decrypter and dvd shrink becouse there FREE. Im sure eventually I will be using anydvd and clondvd when all else fails. If you know how to use BitTorrent you can download anydvd and clonedvd from ther too. Good Luck Spacedust
I got the 21 day trail of clone dvd 2 but everytime i insert a disc it tells me that it can not make copies of copy protected disc.
ALEX2028 CloneDVD 2 is a good program however; it won't decrypt your DVD. You also need AnyDVD (made by the same folks as CloneDVD 2) to decrypt the movie before you burn it to DVD using CloneDVD 2, Eric
Run Anydvd first then open Clone2. Anydvd also has a 21 day trial. It will make dvds look unprotected and region free. http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/anydvd.cfm
Alex I have used both programs - CloneDVD2 is newer and more up to date, and actual easier to use - and x copy was pretty easy to use back in the day but really it is so outdated and is more of a headache than anything else these days.
if u dont already have x-copy do not buy it, they dont update it anymore as far as dvd protection goes. if u already have it u could try runnind dvd 43 or anydvd in back. ive read where this works for some and not for others.make sure u dont have dvd43 and anydvd installed at the same time. im not sure if dvd43 can handle the latest protection like the sony across on lords of dog town. when i first found this site(ad) i was using xcopy platinum. then i got a movie from wallmart called resident evil and xcopy was not up to the challenge. thats when i found ad. once i had anydvd xcopy would copy it fine. i havent used xcopy in the last 8 or 9 mos. so i dont know if it works with the latest sony or not. but during my time at ad ive found some really great apps. dvddecrypter,shrink,dvdfabdecrypter,dvdclone2,anydvd, and lets not forget nero. these are what i use now most of the time, except when i find a movie that i really like then i use dvd rebuild and cce.
