Rating: - Good DVD burning for the price
I have used this to burn DVDs of files obtained using a DRM-removal tool to make copies of the DVDs I own. It is fast, works well, user friendly, and well-priced compared to the competition.
Rating: - Almost totally worthless
I'm not really sure why this application even exists. Toast does everything this applications does and more. Popcorn won't make backup copies of your DVD movies, and the Tivo features barely work. My mistake was not looking deeper into the discussions about this application, before I purchased it.
Other apps. are better choices!

Popcorn 3 (Mac) This Software has been a total wste of time and money. It quite frankly has totally failed to work onmy iMac G5 running OSx 10.4.

Rating: - TiVo, bad; DVD burn OK
DVD Burning: Popcorn 3 has done fine burning DVDs, and indeed the new version successfully burned a VIDEO_TS that the my Popcorn 2 failed to do.
TiVo: It only half works: it has a good viewer of your networked TiVo recordings, and can download them just fine .. although it pretty slow. But it simply cannot convert to a format without the audio getting out of sync.
So for Mac users, you can likely get along with tivodecode + Visual Hub for transforming from .tivo to .mpg + conversion ... Read More
