tsantee Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 It's possible that Popcorn 3 isn't supported in OS 10.6. But you can check a couple things. One is to trash the Popcorn plist file in the User>Library>Preferences folder and try relaunching. The other is to check there are no xvid codecs in a Library>QuickTime folder. That's all I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all I can think of. I tried both, no luck. I do have Popcorn 3 running on my laptop which is also running 10.6.6 and it runs fine. I keep my movies on my Mac Mini so having it on my laptop is far from ideal. I emailed Roxio and the message back although responsive was not what I wanted to hear. They said they don't support legacy software and my only form of support are the forums. We're talking one version back. Perhaps it's time to look for a replacement to Popcorn?

tsantee Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Since it is working on the other Mac, I suggest trashing the one that isn't launching and copying over the one that is launching to see if that fixes the issue. If it doesn't then something else is causing a conflict with Popcorn. Try rebooting in Safe Mode and see if Popcorn launches after doing that. If it does, you have something in one of your libraries that is conflicting. The only conflicts I've seen are xvid codecs in QuickTime folders and some third-party VST plugins in Audio>Plugins>VST folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlaskaDave Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 I decided to give DVD2one a try. Roxio's response really turned me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
