I just found a coupon code which allows you to receive 10% off of the price of Roxio Popcorn 3. With this code, you can get Popcorn for $44.99. Amazon has a better price ($42.99) unfortunately, at the time of this writing you can’t download the software directly from Amazon so, if you want to save a couple of bucks you will have to wait for Amazon to ship you a CD.

To get this discount, all you have to do is enter “ANNIVERSARY” during the checkout process.

Just today, Roxio made available Popcorn 3. As promised, the software is available for $49.99 ($42.99 on Amazon). For those of you who don’t know, here’s what Popcorn 3 has to offer:

Popcorn® 3 lets you enjoy your video anywhere you want, on the playback device of your choice. Easily make high quality copies of your DVDs and movies. Take television recordings from your Mac to the portable device of your choice for on-the-go viewing or fit 4 hours of video on a single layer-DVD. Now with batch video conversion, support for a broad range of consumer devices, and exclusive support for TiVoToGo^TM transfers, your video will go everywhere you do.

I’m downloading my copy now so stay tuned for a review some time in the near future….

Roxio has announced that they are going to release Popcorn 3 with TiVoToGo support. For those of you who don’t know, Popcorn is a Mac application which allows you to transcode video content into several different portable formats. Version 3 will include TiVoToGo support so that you will be able to transfer and re encode shows from your TiVo (similar to TiVoDesktop Plus on Windows). Roxio plans to release Popcorn 3 in August or Sept for ~$50.

Ever since January of this year, Roxio has offered Toast 8.  Toast 8 is currently the only officially supported implementation of TiVoToGo on the Mac. One of the complaints that people have had with Toast is that it costs too much ($79.99 after $20 rebate). Popcorn 3 appears to be Roxio’s attempt at releasing a TiVoToGo solution that doesn’t cost as much as Toast.

I plan on purchasing Popcorn 3 once it is available. I’m currently very happy with TiVoDesktop Plus on Windows however, I would definitely like to get my hands on an officially supported TiVoToGo solution on the Mac. I almost bough Toast 8 when it was first released. The only thing that has held me back has been the cost. I’ve also used TiVoDecode Manager but, that software hasn’t been updated since January ‘07.

Are you going to buy Popcorn 3 once it is available?  If not, how are you doing TiVoToGo on the Mac?
