Clone2Go: Batch video converter for Windows

by Brad Linder Dec 8th 2008

Clone2Go is a video conversion utility for Windows that accepts videos in a variety of formats (including WMV, MPG, MP4, or 3GP), and includes at least as many output options. What sets Clone2Go apart from some other video converters out there is that it makes batch video conversion a snap. Just add as many files to the queue as you like and click the start button to begin an encoding job. You can even configure Clone2Go to shutdown your computer when it's done.

Another nice feature is Clone2Go's integrated web video downloader. You can grab videos from YouTube or Google Video just by entering a URL. There's also a built in video player, which lets you watch videos you've downloaded or converted.

Clone2Go is available as a free download. There are also commercial versions which includes additional conversion profiles for iPods, Zunes, and 3GP phones, as well as the ability to rip DVDs or save your custom configurations.

Blegh. Now that Handbrake has video-file support, I don't know why you'd use something like this, much less pay for it.

I agree, this program is junk. It only offers a handful of formats and is easily outdone by numerous open-source programs.

mediacoder has freely performed most if not all the the pay functions of this app and probably more for many years, although i'll grant you the interface could use some love, but i'm not sure whether this interface is better.

MediaCoder is probably the best Converter out there, but it has its faults (i.e. not user friendly, and the extensions are very iffy).

Anyway, I have used this app and it did help in video conversion.

wonderful freeware indeed.

I noticed clone2go makes a comparison between the free version and the pro version here:

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
