DVD Cloner 4 is fast. Really fast. It combines an incredibly simple interface for new users with an advanced interface option that will satisfy even the uber-est of users.
Basic (or Express) mode offers a foolproof way to copy DVDs, and it takes only one click to copy your DVD. Basic mode is perfect for beginners, though the lack of any options in this approach seems almost too spartan to me. Advanced (or Expert) mode is more professional and customized, and you will become a DVD copy expert with it. There are lots of options in the Advanced mode. For example, you can shut down your computer after the process completes automatically--very convenient for making overnight copies or for slower systems. The Full DVD Disc Copy function is also enhanced. Now it can remove various protections (Region, CSS, ARccOS, and so on) during copying.
Other cool features and tools in DVD Cloner include an enhanced decrypter to defeat all up-to-date DVD protection mechanisms. The software comes bundled with free DVD-to-AVI, DVD-to-MPEG, and DVD-to-SVCD format capabilities, making DVD Cloner effectively four great products in one. Finally, the burning engine has been redesigned to make burning more stable and dependable, and DVD Cloner 4 is fully compatible with Windows Vista.
I found little to complain about in the software. If I had to nit pick, the "remaining time" meter is slightly deceiving. It shows the time remaining for ripping a DVD, but in actuality, that's only 50 percent of the process, since you still need to burn it. DVD Cloner's flexibility to do more than just copy, however, makes it a great value at $59.99.
