Popcorn 3 is good but be careful, 8 Aug 2008
This review is from: Popcorn 3 (Mac) (CD-ROM)
This software is good, but the makers support is below par. It's not made clear that you need a patch to make it work on Leopard, even though they say it will. Once you register the software you have to wait for them to send you a password to access their website to download the patch. In my case I waited three days for an automated response. In the end I managed to email them and they sent me one.
I strongly recommend that you read the users forum comments.
I thought I had a bad disc and reported it to Amazon and to their credit they sent another straight out. Got it the next day. Well done Amazon. Roxio could learn a lot from them about customer service.

Takes the complication out of burning DVDs on the MAC, 4 Nov 2007
This review is from: Popcorn 3 (Mac) (CD-ROM)
I purchased this software as I was trying to burn a DVD of some video files taken during recent vacation. I could watch them on the MAC but when I came to try and make a DVD I realised that this is one thing the MAC does not make easy. The concept in the MAC is of mounting disks and basically Unix terminology. The issue of Codex also complicates things which means if you within the MAC create a disk and burn it to a DVD (even if you choose this optin) your DVD player will not be able to read it.
Popcorn takes all the pain away, and, is very, very easy to use. When it loads there is a small box and on the left hand side are listed various options
DVD Disk (Copying a whole disk)
Image File (Copying a MAC Disk Image)
Video Folders (Copying Folders to a Disk)
Video Complication (Copying individual files to DVD)
You simply drag the item (either folder or file) into the area on the right hand side and away you go. Without this type of utility you will simply spend hours on the MAC trying to get it to work.
The only thing I didn't like was the price. This is quite simple utility and yet costs over twenty pounds.

Popcorn 3 works for DVD copying! Yippee, 11 Jun 2011
This review is from: Popcorn 3 (Mac) (CD-ROM)
I purchased Popcorn for my mac as i needed to burn my yoga and child DVDs for my portable dvd player and because children destory dvds (sticky fingers, hurling , stacking etc) and i am pleased and relieved to say it works! i can keep my originals safe
I will not give to 5 stars as i still need to Mac ripper the dvd first to pass the permissions then i drop the ripped copy in to the popcorn and it trucks away nicely spitting out all dvds. Excellent
I decided against purchasing popcorn 4 as i read so many bad reviews but popcorn 3 has fine reviews and was only 20 pounds . Funny isnt it.
But shame on Mac computers for not having a program like this already installed for Gratis
