Digit news - Popcorn 2 converts DVD video to iPod, PSP

Roxio the makers of Toast, have released Popcorn 2 which will copy DVD's to various formats. V2 adds the capability to directly convert to formats suitable for the PSP and iPod and 3GPP phones.

It wont copy "copy-protected" DVDs (i.e. commercial DVDs), but there are tools out there which will rip them, and then Popcorn can handle the Video_TS file which is created by them. It will also compress disks so a dual-layer disc will fit on to a single layer (obviously loosing quality).

It's available in Universal Binary format on MacOS X and costs £30 +VAT or £17 for an upgrade from a previus version.
