Inferior encoding quality
I have used free ffmgeg4 for a while to get movies for my son on the road on Sony PSP. Purchased Popcorn 2 in hope it will provide more convenience with chapter/features selection.^M
Disappointing
I am at a loss to see the use for this program. I have used Toast 5 and 6 and found them both to be well thought out applications. Aside from compressing (and therefore reducing the quality of) video to fit on a 1 hour DVD (unnecessary if you have a dual layer burner) I can't see much you can do with Popcorn that you can't already do with iLife or Toast. It is very frustrating that the .mov, mpeg 4 and other such file formats can only be used when you are transferring to a portable. Dropping those file formats into the program when you want to burn a DVD produces an error message. Save your money for something useful.
half dvd manager, all portable
This is a portable player software program with some extras. That's how I see it. The software does all the things needed to convert video to portable players. The specs tell the story. As for user experience, it's easy to use. I can fit a lot on my iPod now. You can make dvd copies too, but you will probably need something else to handle music cds/dvds.
