Elby releases CloneDVD 2 Sneak Preview as free download

Thanks to Thunderace1k and MTR, we know that the CloneDVD 2 Sneak Preview is finally up. The Sneak Preview is a 30 days beta/trial version and is not available for purchase.  Elby doesn't claim it to be final or free of bugs.

CloneDVD 2 redefines the notion of picture quality. On the one hand the revamped transcoding technology delivers far better results, on the other hand the user has more control over the size of the video data. With the new version you can define the degree of data reduction through specific title and audio selection, chapter cutting and free adjustment of the target size. A second quality bar shows the influence of the language selection on the compression rate. You now have complete control over the actual quality of your movie copies.

During transcoding, picture snapshots show you which parts of the movie are transcoded at that instant, graphical bitrate and frame statistics inform you in realtime about the properties of the video input and output data.

Along with the new version of CloneDVD, we offer you our software Virtual CloneDrive: Image files created by CloneDVD can be "inserted" into Virtual CloneDrive and used as if they were normal DVDs.

What's new in CloneDVD 2:

  • Newly revamped transcoder
  • Quality Bar during the audio selection
  • Chapter trimming/Splitting
  • With Virtual CloneDrive
  • Target size freely adjustable (from 100 MB to 9999 MB)
  • Audio and Subtitle Settings are structured more clearly
  • Picture snapshots while transcoding and remuxing
  • Realtime bitrate and frame statistics while transcoding       (Click on the sheep)
  • Logging window available
  • Layer Break Flag Removal possible
  • Animation during trancoding and writing replacable
  • If you should decide to test this trial version, be sure to share your thoughts on the CloneDVD/AnyDVD Forum and in the comments section below.

    Nice to see Elby taking the threat of dual-layer DVD recorders seriously.

    Very Nice! Menus are easier to read. The best part is it automatically removes layer break. Big improvements. supergrin some constructive criticism- make it remember if it is to start the porgram maximized, and best fit for preview screen.

    I wonder if there will be a discount for people who already have registered copies of V1.
