Our Review

We downloaded, installed, and tested CloneDVD Mobile to run on two test computers. One computer was "Home-Brewed" with an Athlon AMD 64 X2 4800 Dual-Core processor running at 2.4GHz, 1GB of memory, 100GB hard drive, and a Sony DRU-510A DVD/RW drive 32X (CD) and 12X (DVD). The other computer, a Gateway E06500D, with an Intel Pentium(R) running at 3GHz, 1GB of memory, 100GB hard drive, and a Plextor PX-708A DVD/RW drive (40X (CD) and 12X (DVD).

Installation and Test Results

The installation was flawless on both test computers. The original DVD movie to be converted was "The Count of Monte Cristo" (2002), a Dual-Layered DVD-9 movie starring Jim Caviezel The movie runtime was 131 minutes.

We have found that CloneDVD Mobile is an easy-to-use and fast DVD to iPod converter software for Apple iPod Video devices. It can convert almost any kinds of DVD to iPod video format. Upon launching the program it asked us "what we wanted to convert our DVD to?" DivX, 3GP, WMVv, Blackberry, Archos, iPod, Zune, Playstation, etc.

Once we inserted our Dual-Layered DVD 9 Movie, we navigated to our DVD movie and CloneDVD Mobile immediately began to preview the movie.

Reviewer's Summary

CloneDVD Mobile worked great. It is one of the truly "idot proof" applications available with it's "film-strip" menu. This mechanism did not allow you to progress to the next configuration setting until the previous setting was accomplished. It takes gently by the hand. We liked that it allowed us to convert to many formats besides iPod. A great tool and an even better buy.
