I understand everybodies frustration completely with CloneBD. I bought the software in the first week this year in January when it had first come out with the first version release. I bought a lifetime licesens and paid a pretty penny for it. The software for a very long time wouldn't even start the transcoding engine for me. Then an update later on came out, problem fixed. Updated again to the newest version, transcoder engine wouldn't start. So I sent my error log files right to Elaborate Bytes instead of complaining on the fourms which gets nothing fixed but just has you vent your frustration. on Feburary 26th 2014, CloneBD support e-mailed me and said my problem is solved with the new release available for download with version 1.0.3.2. I downloaded it right away, installed it, and guess what my problem was fixed finally. Now when I rip bluray movies with my Pioneer BD-R 2209 16x bluray burner using AnyDVD HD I can use CloneBD with no transcoding start up errors (don't believe me ,read the 1.0.3.2) change logs it says it's fixed because I did the correct thing and worked with Elaborate Bytes. The problem is when the software developers feel it's ready they give it a public release and then so many people download and buy it and because now it's on a full internet user access scale, the errors will be more noticeable because more people are using the software to find errors. Send your CloneBD to Elaborate Bytes error log reporting e-mail.
Backup copied blurays looks aboustely beautiful with CloneBD. Flawless picture quality, and flawless audio quality every time. Also about Cinava. I've beat Cinavia now for over a year but with trade offs of course. Look up the software called DVD X Ranger (also transcodes and burns blurays), I've tested before and after with Cinavia security. The software works but it doesn't look as good in picture quality as CloneBD does, it removes the watermark from the audio stream and then repairs it the audio stream back (DVD X Ranger). Two downsides to this though is, 1. Each movie that has Cinavia has to be indivually supported with a 70MB to 125MB file range (right now 168 Cinavia blurays are supported for watermark removal) for each movie to download after you buy there sofware to remove the watermark for each movie they support with the file download. 2. When using there CinEX HD program to remove the watermarks, the trade off of Cinavia free discs is it only copies the main movie, no menus, features ect. The biggest downside is, if you do this and play a movie with a foreign langauge at certain points they speak that you can't interept you cannot get english subtitles to read what that language said.
In all said, give Elaborate Bytes some time, there working day and night I bet fixing errors, just look at there version updates over fifty fixes since first release in December 2014. There a good company, just like Slysoft is. Just gotta get things off to a good start which I have faith they will.
