Review: CopyToDVD (P)review
Reviewer: KennyShin
Version: Unreleased Beta
Partly thanks to the recent entry of various new DVD writer drives, more PC recording software vendors have been announcing new software to burn DVD disks and there will be even more. One of such vendors is VSO-Software in France known with BlindWrite Suite which includes the burning tool, BlindWrite, and the reading tool, BlindRead, and CopyToCD. The latter program, CopyToCD, has been silently upgraded to CopyToCD version 2.0, or CopyToDVD.
As the newly added name suggests, CopyToCD can now be used to make data backups onto DVD recordable media and create your own DVD-Video titles. This copy VSO-Software sent us for a preview is a beta version under development and does not include some features that will added in the first official version, such as file caching and DVD-Video making. According to the CopyToCD/DVD front page, we can see this.
In few weeks we will release a brand new version : CopytoDVD ( aka CopyToCD 2.0 ) the upgrade will be free, according to our licence policy ( 1 year of upgrade protection ). |
The beta version also does not allow the user to bypass the ISO creation process to save time. I hope this will be also added soon. Unlike full-featured products like Roxio EasyCD Creator, Stomp RecordNow Max, and Ahead Nero Burning Rom, CopyToDVD is a simple and small-sized program to let the user easily to create DVD either from the Windows Explorer or from the compilation menu after launching the program.
Setup:
When we start the installation we first have to click yes and we are welcomed with the welcome screen as you can see below:
After picking the destination directory and start menu folder the files are copied to the disk and we receive an information screen:
After this we can run the configuration tool:
When running this the following screen will appear that allows you to configure the software:
We will leave the setting for what they are for now. We can later on change them by going to Properties in the option pull-down menu.
On the next page we will take a look at the interface of the software.
