Ok i have been asked this question by 5 ppl and to tell you the truth i havent got a clue if cloneCD can do DVD's at all. Reason being is i dont have a DVD player at all but i was wondering if anyone knows the answer can the tell me if it is possible at all? And do you need to have any special equipment to do it?

Thanks for any information that is sent, so then i can let the others know if it can or not and what they need.

OK i have had 3 e-mails to this question saying that CloneCD CAN do DVD's and 2 in here 1 just taking the piss and 1 with an answer but with a hint of sarcasm. The answer i have given to these 5 ppl is thus they are split on if it can or not so i suggest this -- Try it and find out if it does, if it doesnt your not losing anything are you. Have also asked them to let me know for future questions for i aint even bothered about DVD's at all anyways hell whats the point there outdated already anyways.

NO...a dvd copier is about 3k right now. DVD has MUCH more info packed on the same space as a cd and can not be read by a cd player...so how can you expect to WRITE something that can't even be read by same?
the closest you can get is a program that strips the DVD from the disk (need dvd player to do it), convert it to MPEG, then burn it back...but that would require 2 (sometimes 3) cd's...and then only playable on a computer.
I have done much research on this. This site has a link to the DVD answers I just gave.

Well Mane, one needs to feel sorry for those ill informed illiterates who claim that CloneCD will copy DVD, and somewhat more for those who spread this misinformation as well.
Unfortunately for them, for this to be a fact and not a fairy tale, CloneCD needs to be able to be used with a compatible burner. However you will not find a SINGLE DVD Burner listed at Elaborate-bytes site at all in the list of compatible devices!
Need one say more?
