Alcoholer4.1

Alcoholer is a reliable application that relies on a series of popular software that is able to manipulate movies and DVDs in order to remove copy protection, clone, and burn discs.Thus, Alcoholer makes use of the following utilities: ClonyXXL, Alcohol 120%, CloneCD, and BlindWrite. Please note that Alcoholer does not actually install all of those, ergo you are required to have them deployed on your computer beforehand.ClonyXXL detects the protection scheme that resides on a disc, while Alcohol 120% deals with burning and emulating DVDs. BlindWrite allows you to reproduce CD-ROMs and with CloneCD, you can produce a copy of your CDs. So, we can safely say this is a fortunate combination that’s going to complete the most common CD/DVD operations.Installation is easy and stress-free and the user interface is simple, yet elegant. Four tabs are going to welcome you upon starting the application: Alcohol 120%, CloneCD, BlindWrite, and GameJack for game copies.In each tab, you select the profile (data CD, audio CD, DVD, or others), read settings, and write settings. You can adjust maximum reading and writing speed, RAW mode, and others.The one disadvantage that stands out the most is the lack of a help file. The only way to overcome this is by using your instincts and previous software knowledge.All in all, Alcoholer makes an impression through the fine selection of software it relies on. Judging by the components it uses, you cannot go wrong in any situation that involves CD or DVD processing.
