| Roxio Popcorn How good is this product? Does anyone know at all? I recently discovered Roxio Popcorn completely by accident, i didn't even know they have a DVD-Ripping Program to compete with Dvd2oneX, FastDVDCopy, and all of them

| It works pretty well, but if you've got a 4.7GB VIDEO_TS folder, Popcorn still goes through the motions of compressing it (which it doesn't compress at all, since it's already 4.7GB) before burning it.

| Also, the software's not _directly_ in competition with FastDVDCopy, since the latter has QUITE a few options Popcorn has not. But if you like Toast's interface and only need it to burn copies of friends' self-made DVDs, it's okay. If you want it for your own made DVDs, I'd rather just use iDVD to create/burn another copy. If you need backups of DVDs bought in the store, Popcorn's not for you, anyway. Be aware that some of the software that _does_ copy protected DVDs may be illegal in your country (copyright issues are very different across the globe in that aspect).

| Popcorn is great Popcorn is a great product. Been using it since it was release and I am absolutely pleasure with the results it produces. Yes, it 'recompresses' single layer discs, but what it does it gets rid of all the adverts and copyright scenes. It keeps the subtitles and you can choose which languages you want to keep. Five out of five product. * You have to get the updated version for Tiger. (1.02) |

| I've been useing Popcorn since it came out. Great product- and no, in my experience it does not re compress files that will already fit on a single layer DVD unless you choose main movie only, just goes straight to burn like Toast does. There were issues with playback on some brands of players (jerky, stops and starts) but that seems to have been resolved with v1.02 along with tiger compatability.
