Roxio Popcorn (Mac) review:4 stars (Great Application for Compressing and Burning DVD's) - Popcorn does an excellent job of copying and compressing non-copyrighted DVD's to a DVD-R/RW. For burning, it uses the Roxio Toast technology. There is one fault I can find, and that is I get frequent audio skips when the DVDs are played back on an older DVD Player (this occurs on my 6-year old Pioneer Player, but plays just fine on my newer Sony player). Also, while it can burn Quicktime files to a DVD, it cannot compress Quicktime files. And this is one feature that I am looking for in a compression application. So the gigabytes on the Quicktime file have to be less than what can be burned to a DVD-R/RW or less than 4.7gb.5 stars (Runs flawlessly, but only after I downloaded the crack) - This program runs flawlessly every time, but when I first installed it, I had to download a crack from the Roxio help website because the program would terminate every time I tried to do something with it. So buyers beware: you will most likely need this crack should you purchase Popcorn. Follow the downloading instructions with the crack (again, attained from the Popcorn FAQ on its troubleshooting website), and afterward, Popcorn will work perfectly.5 stars (Good for backing up your DVD collection) - I've got Mac OS 10.3.9 on Powerbook G4 12 inch with superdrive. So far it's worked well, only 1 coaster out of 10. I use Mac the Ripper on my DVD collection, then use Popcorn to burn. I think for a product like this, if it works 80-90% of the time, then it's worth your $40.
