 Popcorn 2 even better than the original May 5, 2006

Roxio took an already great DVD copy product and made it even better. I bought the original Popcorn when it first came out and have had nothing but success with it and this new version. Installing and using it is completely Mac-like simple. It even spurred me to buy the pc version for my laptop.
Now I've got the best of both worlds. I can back up my DVDs and also convert them and store a bunch of them on my Mac's hard drive so I can use the Front Row software to watch them full-screen with my new Intel iMac remote. Plus I can put them onto my iPod to watch when I travel.
A great product that takes advantage of Apple's hardware options.
 This product is worthless! May 4, 2006

I have the new macbook pro and this product will not burn anything, it continues to show errors. I have wasted a lot of DVD R's because of this product. It is slow and is supposed to be universal with the my mac. However, this product does not work. In addition, I have had no luck getting in contact with their support center. There is none!
Handles iPod conversions and more May 5, 2006

There's a lot of enhancements made to Popcorn 2 so I don't know how another user could say it doesn't work. First it is faster than iTunes for converting video so you won't need to buy QuickTime Pro to do your iPod video conversions. Vers 2 is also faster for compressing and burning DVDs. For everyone who has had to endure miserable burning times this is a welcome improvement. The defaults were chosen smartly so that many tasks are only one-step. For those who still like reference books like I do (I don't like reading a lot online) there is a printed manual which is well written. I was able to figure out a lot of the procedures with the help of this manual. The program worked the way it was supposed to without any complications. Certainly worth the investment.
Different than Toast June 9, 2006

I find it unusual that there is such a targeted program for portable conversions and dvd copying. Toast will handle more dvd authoring formats, but Popcorn 2 has unique portable player file conversions. If you use any portable video player or are thinking of getting one, this program is for you. I have tried some smaller shareware type programs to do compression. However i noticed that POP2 produces sharper, better looking video with its compression. I noticed there is a drop in price for the program, welcome news since we need so many media specific programs now.
Disappointing August 16, 2006

I am at a loss to see the use for this program. I have used Toast 5 and 6 and found them both to be well thought out applications. Aside from compressing (and therefore reducing the quality of) video to fit on a 1 hour DVD (unnecessary if you have a dual layer burner) I can't see much you can do with Popcorn that you can't already do with iLife or Toast. It is very frustrating that the .mov, mpeg 4 and other such file formats can only be used when you are transferring to a portable. Dropping those file formats into the program when you want to burn a DVD produces an error message. Save your money for something useful.
