As its name implies, this program allows you to copy DVDs, but not only that. It has several other functionalities. For example, it can also rip a DVD movie so you can upload it in your portable device. If you have videos that you have recorded or downloaded from the Web, you can create a DVD with them using this program. Also, you can convert your videos into different formats so you can use them almost anywhere. Finally, you can create slideshows using your photo collection.
All the program's features are pretty easy to use. You only need to select the DVD you want to clone, or the files you want to burn, convert, or include in a slideshow, and follow a series of easy instructions that depend on the task you want to accomplish. Also, the program works fast and includes several templates to use with its different functions.
The shareware version has several limitations. You can't use the program to clone any DVD, and the rest of the functions are limited to 3-minute clips. If you want to get rid of these limitations, then you will need to purchase any of the two types of licenses available. The less expensive is a 2-year license, the less affordable is a lifetime one. In any case, both of them are pretty expensive.
