When kids grow up they get more agile, coordinated, and want to try everything "dad" or "grandpa" does. This includes putting the dvds in the player, which unfortunately results in the always impossible-to-fix damages to my dvd collection. I wanted an easy to use, yet effective piece of software that would make "okay" backup copies of my collection. With Cloner, I didn't get "okay" copies, I got great copies. So good, my family can barely tell the difference between a backup and the original. Get cloner! It is a worthy investment. My cloner copies make life more comfortable whenever I lend movies to friends or family; and best of all I don't have to do that awkward fatherly shriek the next time my kid grabs a dvd.
