DVD Burning et al

I'm currently stuck between two choices:

Roxio Popcorn 2

or

Toast 7 Titanium

I like the fact that Popcorn allows me to backup my non-protected DVDs (if I have any), and export them onto my iPod. However, with JUST Popcorn I won't be able to backup my protected DVDs. Note the third review, they state that with another free program, this is possible. Which program are they speaking of?

I enjoy Toast's myriad features: data spanning, iLife integration, et cetera. It is also mentioned that Toast can backup DVDs, but can it also export it to an iPod or another DVD for backup?

So, the question then becomes "should I get one, the other, or both?" If I do indeed get both, what program would I need to suppliment Popcorn's inability to backup protected DVDs? Thanks.

MacTheRipper. Toast 7 basically incorporates Popcorn

So I will be able to export DVDs to my iPod with Toast?

converting to mpeg4

handbrake is the way to go for dvd to ipod (mpeg4) :mac:

Roxio makes both Toast and Popcorn... right?

yes, they do. you should buy toast and download hand brake.
