Does Popcorn copy CSS encrypted DVD-Video discs? |
No. CSS is an encryption mechanism used to prevent copying of commercial DVDs. The use of DVD decryption software is illegal in the United States and some other countries. Not all DVDs are CSS protected. Some commercial DVDs, public domain movies, your home movies created with Toast, iDVD or DVD Studio Pro, and content that you have recorded on your set-top DVD recorder are not CSS protected. You can use Popcorn to copy these discs.

Why do I need to compress my source DVD? |
Some DVDs can be as large as 9 GB, which exceeds the capacity of a standard 4.7 GB recordable DVD disc used in the DVD recorder in your Mac. Popcorn includes powerful compression technology that lets you fit an entire 9 GB DVD-Video onto a 4.7 GB recordable DVD disc.

How does compression affect my video quality? |
Compressing may result in a slight reduction in video quality, but will leave the audio quality unchanged. You can optionally choose to copy only the main movie with a specific language and audio format. This will reduce the amount of compression required and maximize video quality and use of available disc space.
