I remember that the best program was the latest version of tmpgenc v2.524.63.181, maybe?
Now what is better, CCe, Mainconcept or Tmpgenc?
Thanks

There is no 'best'. There is only what is 'best' for you.

Define what you want to do, how complex you want things to be, how much you are willing to spend and how much effort you are willing to put into this and maybe someone can offer a few suggestions. But even so, there is no 'best'. If there was, all the others would be out of business!

I only wants that my films can see very good.
I hate the tipical "squares" of mainconcept for exemple when a film there is movement.
For the moment the best results to reduce this squares i get with tmpgenc a very slow speed and 2-pass 6000kb.

Thanks

Since you have TMPGENC try using it's single pass constant quality mode.
