Hi guys.

Can anyone help please. I had trial version of clonecd...then went to buy licence and the site says t'is no more.

Is alcohol120 really the next best thing? My friend cant get it to work on his machine.

Can someone tell me wot the next best thing really is.

P.s. have read game copy guide.

p.p.s the reason i asking is cos my mate is havin no luck wiv alcohol 120

Thanks peeps.

Don't know why Alcohol 120% don't work at your friends pc... but Alcohol 120% is much better than CloneCD (at this time).

Clone Cd is still their but is has been sold to a new company who has als AnyDvd, as far as I remember.

Clone Cd No More
 

hey peeps i just went on elby website creators of clone cd and they have stopped making it argh

Clone CD has now been "sold" to Slysoft - was a few days ago. Anyway an update should arrive soon enough I imagine but I'll be sticking to Alcohol if it's not revolutionary.

clonecd is illegal in germany for now.
but i guess they will sell it in other countries.

:( hey, at least they have cloneDVD now! But that really isnt relevant to this site i guess. Hmmm, odd that cloneCD is ousted because of copyright problems, but copying movies on clonedvd is ok for them to do.

You must see that CloneDvd doesn't come with AnyDvd, which is for the copy protection, in germany. I don't know what version in other countries is being sold.

what is anydvd? Whatever it is or does, i'm still pointing out the same potential sameness in the illegalities of one program to the other.

if legal issues pushed clonecd out the door, then how can they make a program that's potentially the same, but for DVD's instead?

CloneDvd is in germany is in germany now nothingless then Nero burning rom, WinOnCd or so on. Nothing but a simple copying programm who can't get over any protections without the add-on AnyDvd.

your english is garbled and hard to understand.

But i think what you're trying to tell me is that unlike nero and wincd, this program cant....bypass dvd copyrights........but anydvd, wich it doesnt have, can.....so it is then not illegal, unlike clonecd wich would viably do that.

I'm not sure why you brought up germany.

You've got it.

Because in germany are all programms forbidden which can bypass protections or make a 1:1 copy. Very hard times here

oh, so why bring up anydvd?

AnyDvd is only to get passed along the DVD Protectionsystems.
Elby, who has now only got CloneDvd, has sold AnyDvd and CloneCD to Slysoft or so to Antigua. It may be sold over Internet.

So that Elby has no longer any rights of AnyDvd it may be possible, that CloneDvd can't copy or rip copyprotected DVDs. So its useless for making safety copys of your home cinema DVDs.

this is purely a question of curiosity, but does that mean clonedvd cannot rip a copyrighted dvd without anydvd?

because i saw someone do it, and i'm not sure if they had anydvd or not. BUT If you dont need it to do that, i'd say that's pretty illegal.

Again, i dont really care, but my curiosity is peaked.

I see no problem for the old versions of CloneDvd.

But i don't know what is with new versions.

i dont mean to beat a dead horse but then we're back to what i was talking about before. If you can "rip" a copyrighted movie with it, then i'm surprised they can release it.

CloneDVD cannot decode CSS protected dvds so therefore it avoids any legal issues. CloneDVD is from the Elby team.

Anydvd will decode CSS on the fly - Anydvd is from the Slysoft company in Atigua.
Slysoft recently "acquired" CloneCD from Elby

Draw your own conclusions.

so, to rip a dvd would that mean you'd need to decode the CSS? I'm curious to know cause then maybe my friend had anydvd installed after all. But if you dont need it to rip a dvd then maybe he didnt.
