Conclusion
On most fronts this program is quite user friendly but certain things are less user friendly, and could be improved by Elby. Especially the splitting part is not so easy.
Besides this, it did not work well with multi camera position DVDs, but on the DVDs which don’t have this feature it works fine. For the rest it is a great program and it is faster then DVD shrink. One of CloneDVD's big advantages is that you can set it up in your own language. The most common languages are supported by CloneDVD.
The DVD quality is the same as other programs like DVD Shrink. What we personally thought that was a pity, was that there is no support for DVD43 which removes the region protection and de-CSSes the DVD. For this we had to use a program like DVD Decryptor to rip the movie files from the DVD to the Harddisk first.
CloneDVD has some small items which could be improved but for the rest it is a fine tool to have, with excellent speed.
