Aviosoft Clone DVD features include the ability to embed personal watermarks in your DVDs, options for online technical support and, our favorite, conversion tools for more movie files types, such as AVI, ASF, 3GP for Smartphones and MP4 for iPod, PSP and iPad. Despite this list of conversion tools, when testing this DVD copy software application, we sometimes found the copied quality to be inconsistent with the original picture quality. Additionally, Clone DVD does not allow customers the luxury of copying episodic DVDs by individual episodes.

As mentioned before, we love all of the file formats Clone DVD provides. However, this DVD copy software application's key feature is its ability to auto-remove all protections including CSS, RC, RCE, UOPs and Sony ARccOS. This application will also remove region codes, retain or omit bonus material and make a DVD from VOB files on your hard drive. Additionally, the software gives you the ability to choose whether you want copy all the menus, subtitles, bonus features, etc. to a separate disc, or just compress all the DVD's material to a single disc.

This DVD copy software application is very easy to install because it comes with a CSS decryptor, which really ought to be included in every software package. All you have to do is download the software and load it. We didn't have any problem getting this application up and running. If you do run into some problems, you can get a lot of good information on the website.

The conversion speed for this application as the best we've seen, but at 1 hour for converting a full length movie, the conversion speed is decent. With the newest version of Clone DVD, you can compress all of the data from the original DVD to a DVD9 or a smaller DVD5 disc. While testing this software, we were disappointed by inconsistent results. In one test, our DVD copy was flawless, but on another test copy the picture was pixilated and fast movements within the movie didn't copy well.

Although the output quality varied, the copy process itself always went very well in our testing. We were especially impressed with how easy it was to choose which audio and subtitle options to include in the new copy. Removing these options from the copy can help reduce the file size, which can be useful if you are working with smaller storage capacities and don't want to worry about compression.
