Roxio Popcorn ReviewThis is a good simple user friendly program. - Version: 3.0.2, 5/19/2008 08:10PM PST

If you have used Toast, then Popcorn should have a familiar feel as the interface is similar. With video becoming more and more portable, this software is certainly helpful to convert that media. I took one of my DVDs that had several episodes of a show on it. I wanted to convert the episodes to video. Typically in some of the other conversion programs I have used, I had to select individual episodes to convert. This is not the case with Popcorn. I inserted my DVD into the drive, selected Popcorn as the application choice, selected my DVD, told the program I wanted it converted to AppleTV and pressed start. The program did the rest. The program also did a wonderful job of converting video to DVD. I had some home movies that I took with my Sony camcorder. I selected the file and selected the options to convert the file to DVD. The program gave me only three style of options for menus. This seemed to me a little limiting as other video programs have quite a few choices.The conversion process works great and the videos are in good quality for playback after conversion. Popcorn will remain on my computer as one of my favorite video converters. Just keep in mind that conversion times depend upon memory and processor speed.

If you are looking for a product that can copy your DVD to eg AppleTV then don't buy.
Yes it does work with turbo.264
Yes it can copy DVD's to AppleTV
BUT The interface is terrible, no support for subtitles (only when you write DVD's pff handy) and above all only non-encrypted content can be read.
So I will now try to get my money back and stick to handbrake.

Roxio Popcorn ReviewRoxio Is Starting to Act Like Microsoft & Apple - Version: 3.0.2, 11/25/2007 11:10AM PST

I purchased Popcorn from Roxio. The software did work as described. However after my computer crashed six months later, Roxio would not allow me to download the software again. I wanted to use it on the same computer with the same license number. However, Roxio charges $5 for the ability to download the software again in the future (beyond three months) and I had not purchased this program.

It seems insane and "dark ages" for a company to do this. It cost them nothing for us to download it from their site. And, as long as it is being used on the same computer or with the same license number, I can see no reason to charge the fee.

I'd shop elsewhere.
