The reason I continue to use it is simply that I like that its user interface, which is quite good. It allows me to easily select VIDEO_TS folders for conversion, select tracks from within the DVD, even allowing me to watch what's on the track, if I want to be able to identify what's what, because I only want to convert one of several tracks.
In addition, for conversion it appears to use the QuickTime interface with the same options I have when converting a track in the QuickTime Player utility (Version 7, QuickTime Pro functionality). I can change target video size and frame rate and even choose multi-pass encoding, which results in smaller file sizes with better video quality. Handbrake only does two-pass encoding.
In short, when it works, it's great.

What has happened is that the mime type for this file is not being served exactly right by Roxio. Safari is exhibiting the correct behaviour, because the mime-type is not set to 'download'. Chrome is being nice by realising, hey, that file type at that file size? You probably wants to download it.
But technically, Chrome is doing the non-standard thing and Safari is doing the correct thing. The fix needs to occur on Roxio's side.

Instead of the download progress bar all I get is machine code in a window which ultimately freezes Safari.
Serious problem here.

What they say on their online store :
"New! Extract clips from any DVD-Video and create your own clip compilation DVD"
"Create your own Director's Cut custom compilation-choose the individual DVD movies, audio and languages you want"
"Easily back up the entire disc with all movies, menus, audio and extras"
And so on...
The only thing they do "forget" to tell you is that you still cannot use those so-called "features" on your commercial DVDs (which are almost all copy-protected by now). Eventually, PopCorn results in a sleek interface you can do nothing of.
Oops, I was about to forget : if you're a PopCorn 3 user, you'll have to pay 30 $ for the upgrade. One more way for Roxio to tell they don't care about their prior customers either.

isn't that common sense though? popcorn isn't designed for making illegal dvd copies it's made for production of dvds from other content, or copying non protected dvds, if you you want to pirate dvds you'll need a seperate unnamed program to remove the copyguard first, then popcorn copies it fine.

Version 4.0:
* Now requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later and an Intel-based Mac.
Absolutely not true, since its perfectly workning on my G5...
but the most hylarious thing is that Roxio on their upgrade page
indicates as minimum system requirements, a mac intel... go figure!

This is on a MacBook Pro running 10.4.11. Oh, and if you go to their site to check updates, you get the "Server is too busy" at all times.
Terrible support, terrible product. I would not recommend this company any more.

Upon hitting the burn button, we get the error "Could not record the disc because of a Mac OS Error. Result Code = -13780
Technical Support at Roxio consists of a portal. All attempts to login to the portal have been unsuccessful (I have read about this particular problem in other posts, even in this thread). Calls to Roxio to fix the login problem (new login, new password, etc.) have been unsuccessful.
If I had known Popcorn and Leopard were incompatible, I would have held off my upgrade.

I hear Popcorn 2 will work in Leopard, but their web site will not let you login - no matter how many times you change your password.
What is up with this company? The whole programming community has had their hands on Leopard for months (almost over a year in fact), yet when you call them they act so surprised to learn their software isn't working in Leopard? You telling me... no one at Roxio who had a copy of Leopard... ever tried to launch their own software... EVER?
You're kidding me, right?
I noticed a problem on the other two disks, though: the correct aspect ratio of the source (widescreen) was lost once Popcorn had processed it. So Popcorn seems to be completely useless for backing up most movies, unless you just don't care about the quality.
I've posted a question about the widescreen problem elsewhere. One person responded that it's a Quicktime problem: that Popcorn uses QT for compression and that QT screws up the aspect ratio.
Sounds like DVD2One would be a better solution. Popcorn has major limitations.
