CloneDVD (Slysoft) 2.0 – Product Review

slysoft_clonedvd_1Slysoft Clone DVD has been found to be a very user friendly application for any beginner.  With this application, you can easily backup your unprotected DVD movies.

Clone DVD has an immense amount of very useful features and comes complete with a very simple to use wizard interface.  Even novices can easily copy their DVDs without any problems.  Clone DVD is designed extremely well and is easy to use.

Before moving on to all of the many benefits of Slysoft Clone DVD, it is important that we also mention that there is a small downside.

Keeping in mind how well made Slysoft Clone is, in order for this application to be useable, you have to buy AnyDVD.  AnyDVD is a product add-on that is also manufactured by Slysoft.

This program allows you to back up your protected DVDs.  While there are many other alternatives in buying AnyDVD, Slysoft highly recommends only using AnyDVD.

While we aren’t quite sure why Slysoft recommends this, we can only assume it is either for legal issues or possibly to get a few extra dollars from customers.

We feel that AnyDVD should be included with the Clone DVD package in order for customers to save extra money.  There are a few other DVD software packages that do work quite similarly.

Even though software for DVD copying doesn’t encrypt DVD due to legal reasons, they will usually offer you a special add on feature that you can easily install to be able to duplicate the encrypted DVDs.  Best of all, the add on is almost always free.

It’s also important for you to know that Clone DVD is a well made product and is so simple to use.  After you buy AnyDVD, you will then be able to start copying almost any DVD you wish.

Keep in mind that there is also a High Definition version that has the capabilities of backing up HD movies.  With the HD version, you can alter the quality and compression settings.

While you aren’t able to merge and split your DVDs, Slysoft Clone DVD is still very beneficial when you aren’t 100% sure of which settings to change.

There is a visual indicator provided to show you how each and every setting will affect the size and quality of the final DVD copy.  Many intermediates who have a feel for what they are doing will have a great appreciation for this feature even if they aren’t video compression experts.

If you aren’t interest in all of the details that video compression relates to, you will inevitably find Clone DVD to be very beneficial.  There is a tool called the “Filmstrip Assistant’ that is very helpful in guiding you through all of the pertinent settings to create an excellent copy.

More often than not, you can just follow the default choices and still get good results with your backup.  The remainder of the Slysoft interface is equally simple to utilize.

The design exudes how much work has actually gone into the interface.  If you do get stuck and are unsure of what to do, Slysoft does provide video tutorials to teach you how to complete basic backup of DVDs.  You can find these tutorials on the Slysoft website.

You will find Slysoft CloneDVD to be a very beneficial piece of software.  Just be aware that you will need to spend a little extra cash on AnyDVD in conjunction with Slysoft Clone DVD.

There are renewal fees each year, unless you would rather purchase your license for multiple years.  Slysoft CloneDVD remains the best choice for beginners as well as experts.
