Roxio released Popcorn 3 for Macintosh yesterday, which promises to shorten video conversion and DVD burn times as well as adding TiVo-to-DVD or TiVo-to-device support.
New and enhanced features include automatic TiVoToGo, which starts encoding TV shows as soon as they are transferred to your shiny Mac; batch DVD conversions that compress multiple DVDs into a single, four-hour 4.7GB disc; and “pause” and “resume” functionality so you can watch a quick YouTube video before you forfeit the majority of your processing power to the conversion/burning program.
Popcorn 3 also supports optimized video encoding from Mac, DVD, and TiVo to a broad range of devices including iPhone, iPod, Apple TV, BlackBerry, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
The application ships with a new preview mode to ensure granulized satisfaction before burning an entire movie to DVD. The latest edition of Popcorn also supports Elgato’s Turbo.264 codec for faster video encoding, Dolby Pro-Logic II, and comes bundled with disc labeling software. Popcorn 3 retails for $50 to newbie owners, or $30 (upgrade) to previous Toast and Popcorn installers.
