I want to make copies of DVD's just for backup purposes of course. Should I get Toast 7 which seems to have all the bells and whistles or should I get Popcorn by Roxio? I know Popcorn compresses the data so how is quality affected?
Got a tip for us?

Toast 7 worth it?

Toast 7 = Toast 6 + popcorn
That said, Toast 7 won't copy copy protected DVDs. First, you have to use a program like MacTheRipper to first rip the TS folder to your HD, then use Toast 7 to make a DVD from it. Very simple and easy to do. Toast 7 kicks ass and is worth whatever they charge for it.

Toast 7 is really good burning software, and follow what jwtillema said to do about using MacTheRipper and then use DVD2ONEX to compress the dvd down to be able to burn it on Toast.
You used to have to buy Popcorn (Roxio's compression utility) separate from Toast 6, but the two have been combined in Toast 7, which incidentally saves you $50.ipacmm said:
How do you do that? I've just gotten errors saying not enough sectors when I try to burn a folder larger than 4.4GB. I'm using Toast 6.0.7Lacero said:
Toast is a great program, I bought it because of the DIVX features but I've found myself using it all the time. Just go for Toast, you won't be disappointed.
