Hi all,
I just purchased Roxio's Popcorn so I could make copies of DVD's I've created via iMovie and iDVD. It worked fine, I guess, but to my surprise, when I popped the copied DVD into the drive, DVD Player didn't start up like it does for the original or my purchased DVD's.

On occasion, the iMovie/iDVD originals won't autostart either, but I can launch DVD Player and get it going just fine.

So, any idea what's up with that? Shouldn't Popcorn be making an identical copy?

As an aside, Popcorn is fine for what it is. Pop in an original, it sucks it in, pop in a blank, it spits it out. Easy and straight forward. The only inconvenience for me is when I need to make 2 or 5 or 10 or whatever copies. Popcorn doesn't say "want another before I trash the temp folder?". Minor, but it would be nice if it did like iDVD does after it spits out the first burned disk.

Thanks all,
