I bought this software to make backups of my DVD movies, as my 2-year-old-daughter has destroyed too many to replace. It won't decrypt the movies! It just gives me a "Sorry, we can't do this" notice when I insert a DVD movie. Ugh! I wasted $60 on the download and softeware disk and didn't get what I needed!
Does anyone have any decryption software suggestions to make this work? I'm on a Mac!

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 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.

Does not work even with Tiger - Version: 3.0.2, 11/17/2007 10:22AM PST

Version 3 doesn't seem to work with .flv files. I've tried several different files and the percent complete stays at 0 for hours and nothing every happens. I've rebooted, repaired permission, turned the Turbo.264 option off, and just about every other thing I can think of all with the same results. If you click STOP, then the program freezes and you have to Force-Quit. In fact, you can't quit without the force-quit.
This is on a MacBook Pro running 10.4.11. Oh, and if you go to their site to check updates, you get the "Server is too busy" at all times.
Terrible support, terrible product. I would not recommend this company any more.

I paid for this product chosing the download option. Little did I realize that, once you reach the checkout page, you have *no* option for delivery except picking the UPS International Overnight. Since I had chosen download, I paid too little attention and wound up with an extra 26 EUR delivery charge. Together with the recommended backup disk, I paid more than 90 EUR.
Once I had downloaded the software, I found it crashes EVERY time I try to boot it. I run System 10.4.10 on a Dual 2.7 GHz G5. I wonder if I'll get my money back ....
My advice: Don't spend your's on this ripoff junk.

In frustration I quit SD and Safari, relaunched both, and attempted to continue/complete downloading the Popcorn disk image. At this point I was rudely informed that I had already downloaded the program TOO MANY TIMES and would be forbidden from downloading it again.
Uh, WHAT? Is "0" times too many?
I have just finished writing their Customer Service department with this problem, and haven't heard back from them yet. I will be sure to let everyone know how this goes and how well they treat an honest customer.
Fingers crossed . . . .
