Yep.... and i'll stick to my DVDFab Platinum and my free lifetime updates.... which i believe also may have been cheaper than AnyDVD + CloneDVD.
I don't know the prices of DVDFab over the years so I can't really compare. I purchased AnyDVD, CloneDVD years ago when the price was cheaper and still in US dollars. I got the AnyDVD HD upgrade when it first came out for a cheaper price, as well. In the long run my personal experiences with comparing DVDFab and AnyDVD/CloneDVD have weighed in favor of AnyDVD/CloneDVD especially when adding HD-DVD/BluRay to the mix since DVDFab is still way behind in that department.
One thing to remember when talking about 1Click is that unlike DVDFab it is not in direct competition with AnyDVD. Either AnyDVD or DVD43 are necessary to handle protected DVDs with 1Click. 1Click, itself, is more in competition with CloneDVD. DVDFab competes with both AnyDVD, CloneDVD, and other products.
I got handed a copy of the above mentioned software to install on this person machine, now I am a little hesitant because anything that has 1 in the name of the program, has Click in the name of the program has got to be malicious.
While I don't like the software it shouldn't be automatically seen as malicious. The name is meant to give the user the impression that it makes backing up a DVD to be a quick and easy process... "1 Click" away. It's not that easy in reality, of course.
I can't find anything out about the product that is not placed by the company themselves, I can't find any website other than the one they set up, and BOY does it look like a website designed to get suckers.
I'd go to the CDF and
http://www.lgsoftwareinnovations.com forums and do some reading on the software.
Does anyone have any experience with the product? Does it do what it is advertised to do? Does it phone home, does it contain any bad stuff
One of the annoying things I've read about 1Click is that each time you install an update for the software you must allow the software to connect to the internet to perform an auto-register procedure. That to me is essentially online activation and it happens every single time an update is released and installed. Some might not care while others will be annoyed at the fact that it is done. I'm unaware of anything other than this that might be seen as malicious or bad in nature.
In general, likes and dislikes are subjective regardless of quality and price when it comes to some forms of software. Especially in the department of DVD backup software people have very strong opinions about which products they like and which they do not. I've never been let down using the software that I prefer and others will say the same using a totally different product. The best way to decide is to use different programs to see which products feel right, work nicely, have solid support, and have frequent and fast updates when necessary.
