Venom386(developer of daemon tools) and the alcohol team work very closely together, as a matter of fact alcohol could not work the way it does without daemon tools and vice versa, if you were to download and install the new version of alcohol you will notice that daemon tools or portions of it is installed as part of alcohol. Alcohol supports most major image formats. The only reason to switch would be the burning capabilities the new versions of copy protections ie:Securom "new" version4 relies on physical characteristics of the actual cd the game is pressed on (UT2003) the way alcohol does this is similar to the way clonecd accomplished what it did. Alcohol convinces the game that the cd is in the drive by making it "think" the original cd is by information alcohol gathers through the DPM and then burning this info to the disk. But with daemon and alcohol all you have to do is create the image on your harddrive and then run a virtual cd, no cd required to play. So the only advantage to owning alcohol is the ability make a back-up to cd not 1 to 1 but a back-up none the less. clonecd at this time cannot make a copy of securom new version4 or above.
