The Ultimate DVDR Forums

There is a new product on the market with an embedded decrypter and it is called " CloneDVD " It is not the one we on the forum talk about or use. So be careful if you are looking at this program to buy. The one we have a sub-forum for is made by Slysoft or Elaborate Bytes. This is the one with the ripoff name
CloneDVD - Clone DVD - Copy DVD movie to DVD+/-R(W) by 1:1 DO NOT MISTAKE IT FOR THE REAL CloneDVD2 .

Thanks for the heads up alan!

This product has actually been around for a couple of yers now and I tested it probably 2 years ago now and did not like it or I would still be using it. I have just downloaded it and will give it a wirl for the hell of it...

No siggy needed!
Thanks KT!

Thanks Joel, I knew there was a product called "DVD Cloner" but that is not this one. This one is made by a company called (" DVD X Studios")and it says NEW on the web-site so I thought it was something that noone had seen before. Thanks for the info buddy. Let me know how you make out.

I am copying a movie called "Thank you for Smoking" and the authoring alone took 64 minutes and it is burning now with the VSO engine...

Thanks KT!

are these anything to do with the old 321 studios by any chance??? a name change for instance???

The website looks as if they may be affiliated in some way, but the program has been around for at least a year and a half if not 2 or more...

No siggy needed!
Thanks KT!

Ok folks as stated earlier the program was very slow for me!!!
Here is the burn log which was very slow also even though I used good media and requested max burn speed. Will test movie in a moment...

Thanks KT!

This program also listes my IDE connected optical drives twice and will not list the 4 USB Optical drives I have connected and powered on. To use my BenQ 1655 USB I had to locate the video TS folder through harddrive location...

I will copy and burn the same movie with 1Click Pro to see the difference in times...

They are not affiliated with the old X copy 123 software.

They are based in China if I remember correctly. I told my daughter to download CloneDVD from Elby back before CloneDVD2 and Elby's affiliation with Slysoft. She mistakenly purchased this product which was surely relying on the play with names when they also chose "CloneDVD" shortly after these guys were luring in customers based on Elby's product old Elby put out CloneDVD2 . Elby's site used to have some warnings about this knockoff program on his web site a few years ago.

This program does work but is similar in name only to the "real" CloneDVD.

They will answer your email; they will send you their upgrades; they are an honest company; but their product just flat stinks. I played with it for several months through several updates and would rather have DVDnextcopy installed before this one.

Okay folks, this is a product that needs a lot of work before even considering to purchase. it is also very expensive at $99.00!!!

1Click dvdccopy Pro just transcoded the same movie in 22 minutes which is one third the time...

The finnished DVD functions perfectly but the video quality just sucks for lack of a better fraze...

My suggestion LEAVE THIS ONE ALONE!!!

IT IS BEING REMOVED FROM MY SYSTEM AS WE SPEAK!

Thanks KT!
