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.
I'm just a fellow Toast-user so please don't blame Roxio for any misguidance I may provide. And do let me know if your issue gets solved. Cheers from Eugene, Oregon!

Get your refund if you can.....if you have toast!
