SlySoft Releases CloneDVD Mobile
"CloneDVD mobile converts your DVD movies quickly and easily into a format that your portable device (Sony PSP, Apple iPod Video, iAudio X5, Creative Labs ZEN Vision, etc) can play. You can also convert your DVDs to other file formats, such as DivX, XviD, AVI, MP4, etc. With CloneDVD mobile you can put your favourite movies or TV series on your mobile video equipment and watch them wherever and whenever you want. Let the kids watch their favourite cartoons in the car. Incorporating the user-friendly interface of Elby's CloneDVD and the well-engineered open source project FFmpeg as the conversion engine makes CloneDVD mobile a fast, easy-to-use and quality product that is very reasonably priced."
I've been using another SlySoft product, AnyDVD, for a few weeks now and the word "fantastic" doesn't begin to describe how cool it is. CloneDVD Mobile is an evolution of the core technology in that product, and it looks equally impressive. MGN has published a review of the product, and while the review is more Smartphone-focused, it's worth checking out.
UPDATE: I was incorrect insofar as the core CloneDVD Mobile product does not copy encrypted DVDs, so you'll need AnyDVD as well for that, or find some other way to feed it decrypted VOB files.

Do you think this this better than Pocket PC Studio? I'm very impressed with that.

It won't conver CSS encrypted disks (i.e. most commercially avaiable disks) You could de - CSS; but that adds time and hassle.

Oh. Hrm. I assumed it would include AnyDVD:
http://www.slysoft.com/en/anydvd.html
Bad assumption on my part, my apologies. Although considering that both are $39, I guess it makes sense.
So to get the real end-to-end solution, you'd need both products.

Worth checking out their "bundle" prices on their website, you can get AnyDVD and others for around 23 dollars each I think. Great products, great support and regular updates. A good investment I've been a long time user.

Not only that, but their updates are priced just right(free)!

I also very much like how often they update their applications - they're very aggressive about improving their products. Though I do wish there was a better update mechanism in place rather than downloading the entire thing again every time. :?

I'm a big fan of Slysoft as well - I started using the CloneCD product (originally from Elaborate Bytes) long before Slysoft picked up the rights to the application. Since they've been at the wheel, they've been quick to address new encryption schemes as they hit the market (which is great since I like using VirtualCloneDrive to keep from swapping CDs every time I'm switching between games/applications that require the disc to be inserted).
I love AnyDVD above and beyond any other product I've run across for one key reason - It lets you choose to trim out those mandatory, annoying movie trailers that more and more DVDs seem to be forcing you to watch.
So... I'll give the mobile a shot. I wish it had come out ages ago, though. I see that they now have bundle prices... Early adoption ate my bank account yet again :/

Thankfully, we haven't got the mandatory trailers yet in the UK. If I bought a DVD and found it had mandatory trailers, I'd return it to the shop. We already pay through the nose for DVDs in the UK and I'm not prepared to pay to sit through adverts.

I've been using AnyDVD for about a year now and it's become a part of my core PC apps & tools that almost always get installed anytime I'm working with a new PC.
I recall looking into their CloneDVD product a while back b/c there were promotions available that bundled both CloneDVD and AnyDVD. I decided to just go for AnyDVD b/c it was arguably the best at what it does, but the same couldn't be said for CloneDVD.
That said, I've been impressed with how frequent updates come from Slysoft. It's apparent that they put a lot of time and effort into perfecting their products and that by itself, could make CloneDVD a product worth having.
