CloneDVD is a Windows software developed by Elby (Elaborate Bytes) that allows users to copy DVDs — including the full disc, just the main movie, or custom selections — to blank discs or as digital files (e.g. ISO or DVD folders). It’s user-friendly, fast, and ideal for backing up non-copy-protected DVDs.
🔒 Important Note: CloneDVD does not remove copy protection (like CSS or region codes) on its own. To copy commercial DVDs, you’ll need a separate decryption tool like AnyDVD (from RedFox), which works alongside CloneDVD.
