Roxio Popcorn 2
Editors' rating
Excellent
8.0
out of 10
- The good: Roxio Popcorn 2 allows users to convert video files for viewing on iPods, PSPs, and other portable players, as well as burn customized DVD backups of unencrypted DVDs.
- The bad: Roxio Popcorn 2 can only burn DVD-Rs directly from DVDs, not from video files on your hard drive, and it requires Mac OS 10.4.
- The bottom line: Roxio Popcorn 2 is a simple and excellent solution for users who have lots of unencrypted DVDs that they want to copy or who have video files sitting on their hard drive that they wish could be on their video-friendly iPod.
