the film machine vs diko for avi to mpeg2

[coenocyte]

what's the difference between these two convertors in terms of features/speed/quality encodes? thanks. i've tried out diko so far and it seems to work alright...24mb for a 90s mpeg2 video at 480x480. its this a normal value for file size? video file size doesn't matter for me since all my files are under 100mb....i'm mainly concerned about video quality and freeware...hehe. i don't want to download both since files are pretty big for dialup. thanks in advance

Both uses the same free encoder, quenc. I have tested it a bit and it isn't the best one. I would rather use cce basic or tmpgenc.
