Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

As a bull, this could have been a useful product. It is a steer. Avoid it.

By design, it has two show-stopping defects. First, it will not deal with DVD images already on disk. To use Drive In, you must dig your precious, expensive DVDs out of storage and, one a a time, re-copy them to your hard drive using Drive In.

Second, the software insists on a region code. Purchasers of region-free disks and users of software that eliminates Hollywood's region stupidity need not apply.

Conclusion: Save your money.

A Swing and....maybe a hit for some - klouden

While these two features may be important to you, I think you would agree that Drive-in could be a useful tool for someone without these requirements. Drive-in is very easy to use and provides the same user experience as the original disk. For people who want an easy, convenient method of backing up their DVD library with no compromise in DVD viewing experience, Drive-in may be a great choice.

If region free and pre-ripped content support is important to you, then Drive-in may not the tool for you. If these things are not, then read some of the other reviews and check it out for yourself

I must give full disclosure, I do work for Telestream :-)
