    "Crashes without successfully completing a single task"

    June 12, 2012  |   By SoCALNerd

    Pros

    The UI is very simple and the download is tiny so there is a lot of promise.

    Cons

    I wanted to copy a DVD...

    It was a bit irritating to see that I am forced to use two commands, create image and then burn image.

    Any command that requires browsing, such as choosing an image on the disk causes the program to hang until windows asks me if I want to wait or terminate.


    I thought I would give it another chance by entering a path into the dialog box without browsing and it did create an image. But when I went to burn that image to disk (again I could not browse to it and had to enter the path directly) I got the dialog window "Preparing compilation..." 33 minutes later it can't tell me how much time is left. Instead it says "Calculation..."

    Summary

    I must be unlucky because there are so many good reviews. But I am running Win7 64-bit on a M4500 Dell that is current on patches and antivirus. I welcome a rebuttal from the author and will give a later version another chance. My current opinion is that this is really poor software.
