I recently purchased Popcorn, under the obviously false assumption that it would enable me to make backup copies of some commercial movie DVDs. I guess I was just naive. I know it did say it would not copy encrypted DVDs, but didn't really realize that all commercial DVDs are encrypted. And it the DVD is not encrypted, why do I need Popcorn to copy it, if I already have Toast?
Should I just try to get a refund for Popcorn, or does it do something that Toast cannot do that might be useful?

If you already have Toast 7 or 8 then get a refund for Popcorn.
