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.
