This tool is hyped through Doom9 and cdrinfo as "supporting almost all drives", but that's just talk. The author doesn't even have a list of supported drives on the tool's Official Homepage (www.dvdinfopro.com). The most recent I was able to Google was from 2005 (http://www.cdrinfo.com/forum/tm.asp?m=70296&mpage=1&key=%F0%91%8A%98)!
Make sure your drive is supported before buying(!!), otherwise it's useless - even though it may be a great tool. Sony/NEC Optiarc AD-7173A and Philips DVDR16LS are NOT supported, currently only Nero CD/DVD Speed can do quality testing with these drives.
The UI has all the charms of Linux, and the "free non-Adware" version is in fact a DVDInfo Pro Trial. Activation is required. It always says it's expired and update always fails, but if you hit the "Run trial" button it works.
Concerning the author Nic Wilson (who is NOT the XVID guy, to my knowledge), you might be interested in this: http://club.cdfreaks.com/f92/some-facts-about-nic-wilson-dvdinfo-pro-112692/ |
