What our customer's say!

"Useless", I bought it thinking it would do what TOASTER couldnt, to make back ups of my DVD movies as they say it would...but it doesnt...i wasted my money

"Great product with one kink", I bought this program for my new iMac and have been very satisfied. The only thing that disappointed me about this product was that it cannot copy copyright-protected dvds. However, all I had to do was download the free program MacTheRipper and in combination with Popcorn 2 I am able to easily duplicate my whole dvd collection for backup purposes. Other than that it's been good. You don't get a ton of conversion control so I just use Handbrake, another free program. For the purpose I bought this, to copy my homemade dvds, it works flawlessly. Highly reccommended.

"What exactly does this program do?", I bought this thing, thinking it was something else entirely, installed the doggone thing, and have found that it does absolutely NOTHING that my Mac is not capable doing with the software that came on the HD for FREE. Of course, now the package is open, and there's not a chance of returning it. Completely worthless.

"Works great!", It's amazing how simple it is to use. I was thinking of buying the Toast Platinum but it's an overkill. Popcorn is more than plenty to copy DVD's into a harddive, DVD-+disc or to an IPod. Buy it!

"How to Get Popcorn to Work!", At first, I was truly disappointed in this product. I knew it couldn't rip encrypted DVDs so I downloaded Mactheripper. However, even after I ripped the encrypted movie with Mactheripper and converted it to a Video_TS file, Popcorn would never convert it to mp4. Some of the errors were "OS X Error = -50" or "can not compress the file". Luckily, after some searching of the Internet, I have a solution for those of you that have the same problems. First, it isn't Popcorn's fault that nothing converts; you need to download version 3.0 R14d of Mactheripper (I found it by googling "mactheripper 3.0" or something like that. Make sure you don't download version 2.6.6 of Mactheripper because it won't work. Anyway, I found my 3.0 version through Azureus and bit torrent. I downloaded it, unzipped it, and began using it. (If you don't know what bit torrent is, then type in Azureus in Google and download the Azureus program. Bit torrent allows you to download large files or programs i.e. Mactheripper.) Once you rip the file using Mac 3.0, open Popcorn and convert the file to your iPod. It is really that simple after you download the right version of Mactheripper.
Hope this helps everyone.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Pretty good new software for copying movies onto the iPod.", I've been using Popcorn 1 for a couple of years now, but when I received an iPod for Christmas I updated to Popcorn 2. It does a great job! Of course the screen is pretty tiny, but you can't beat it if you're stuck waiting in some office, or for viewing on the bus or train.

"Be prepared to request a refund....PS, there's awful customer service", This program doesn't seem to work for many people. Be sure to read some of the online forums describing problems. Mine was: "could not complete the last command because of a MAC OS error
error code = -5". This occurs when copying from a Video_TS folder... what you have to do when you have only one cd drive (iMac). Customer support was some of the worst i've ever experienced; the whole gamut: bad english, accusing me of trying to violate copyright, short non-sensical solutions: "change permissions" and then closing the help ticket without resolution. Do yourself a favor a buy a different program. Many people recommend "Toast", also from Roxio. i am cautiously thinking about trying it. Overall i'd have to say the best thing to do is to email/call Roxio to ensure that the program will do what you want and expect it to. Good Luck.

"Works great when it works.", This is an easy to use product, and between it, Toast Titanium, and MTR. I can mostly do what I want to all the movies in my collection. Sometimes it gives errors without more info... like "Cannot compress" this kinda sucks, and is why I won't give more than 3 stars. When It works, which is most of the time, it works great.


"Inferior encoding quality", I have used free ffmgeg4 for a while to get movies for my son on the road on Sony PSP. Purchased Popcorn 2 in hope it will provide more convenience with chapter/features selection.

Found, that while encoding with the same bitrate/size constrains, Popcorn produces junk results on my PSP compared to ffmpeg4 - pixelated squares all over the screen. No convenience in selecting the screen ratios and sizes - like "Autoselect best settings for that movie on the selected device". Waste of money, unless you want to buy and carry tonns of SD cards around to encode with higher rates. But then, factor in the price of SD cards.

The bottom line - no expected convenience, awful quality.

"Disappointing", 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.
