Need a DVD or Blu-ray backup that keeps the disc’s menus and picture quality? DVD-Cloner provides disc-copying modes for making full backups or choosing what to include.
Full-disc and custom copies
DVD-Cloner can copy DVDs and Blu-ray discs, including full 1:1 backups that retain the original quality and menus. Its two copy modes suit different jobs: start a copy with a streamlined option, or customize the DVD content to include in the burn.
A full-disc copy preserves the disc as a whole. Custom copying lets you select the material you want to keep, such as the main movie, while omitting other content. The choice determines whether the backup aims to mirror the source disc or include only selected parts.
Compression and archiving
Compression provides another way to handle a movie backup when keeping the original disc contents at full size is not the goal. DVD-Cloner also supports archiving movies, giving disc owners an option to preserve copies alongside their physical media.
DVD-Cloner is a paid program from OpenCloner that has been around for many years and is updated each year. Most commercial DVDs and Blu-rays are copy-protected, and bypassing that protection is illegal in many countries, including the US and EU, even for personal backups.
