Feature Set:  

DVD Cloner 7 makes quality DVD copies quickly and gives you the option to keep or omit as much or as little of the original DVD you’d like.

Perhaps DVD Cloner’s most standout feature is the ability to circumvent built-in DVD encryptions. DVD Cloner is proficient with all popular encryptions like CSS and ARccOS enabling you to copy almost any DVD on the market. Fewer and fewer DVD copy software programs include this ability.

A feature included with DVD Cloner 7 is the ability to take two DVD movies (usually compressed to DVD-5) and put them on one DVD-9. Now, you can have your favorite movie and its sequel on one DVD. You can also choose how many copies you’d like to make in one sitting. Before you start the copy process you can choose to make one or a dozen copies of the same movie. The software will prompt you every time a new blank disc needs to be inserted into the burner.

DVD Cloner 7 has improved on its predecessor by increasing the burn speed and enhancing the quality of the copied DVD. Yes, the already above-average burn time is even faster, and no quality has been sacrificed to obtain it.

DVD Cloner 7 makes excellent, high-quality copies even if you are shrinking an entire full-length DVD (DVD-9) with all its bonus footage to a 4.5GB DVD-R (DVD-5). Or you can choose to customize your copy with the Movie Customization option. Here you can copy bonus footage, subtitles, audio, language and menus. We also liked that in the custom mode, DVD Cloner displays how much room you have left on your DVD so that you can adjust the compression of your DVD Copy. Using the advanced setup you can adjust the compression ratio of your bonus features. Typically, the software will default to a higher compression for additional chapters to maintain the integrity of the main movie file.

DVD Cloner 7 also supports copying to dual-layer DVD-Rs (DVD-9) making a direct 1:1 copy so you don't need to compress anything. Note: You must have a dual-layer compatible DVD burner to take advantage of this feature.

If your burner is not capable of burning to a dual-layer DVD-9 disc, this software offers two good options. One, an excellent copy can be made by choosing “Movie Only;” this option cuts out additional bonus footage and menus, therefore requiring less compression. Additionally, you can split the entire DVD onto two DVD-5 discs with no quality loss.

This software also has the ability to copy to your hard drive, which is a useful, energy saving feature for laptops. If you choose to burn a DVD from a file you already have on your hard drive remember your files have to include the original ripped ISOs or be in Nero’s NRG format. DVD Cloner cannot read a movie that has been encoded to MPEG-2 format.

One of DVD Cloner’s best features is the power to recover damaged DVDs. Integrated into the “DVD-9 to DVD-9 1:1” to selection; DVD Cloner will recover the damaged data like scratches or bad sectors, and restore the original data to your burned copy, making the copy better than the original.

DVD Cloner 7 is compatible with multiple languages including, English, Korean, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Greek, Hungarian and many more. It also supports PAL, NTSC, DVD+-R/RW, all home stand-alone DVD players and most DVD burners.

DVD Cloner also comes with some additional free software. Bundled with Cloner 7 is the ability to download DVD file converters. You can convert your ripped DVD files to AVI, MPEG or SVC. Access to these download is located on the right-hand side of DVD Cloner’s main interface. When you click on the button the software will send you to one of Cloner’s web pages. Just click the download button, if you have a registered version of DVD Cloner you don’t have to pay the $20.00 listed price.
