Anybody used TMPGenc's latest version 2.58 yet?

[joeAgain------]

And does it also need a 3rd party (extra-cost)Mpeg-2 DVD decoder/player to function, as 2.57 did?

[KingJohn]

Yes
Yes

Isn't it enough with the powerdvd demo(FREEE) ? And even if the powerdvd demo expires you can still use tmpgencs editor or anything that uses the powerdvd mpeg2 codec

[tom28]

Wouldn't the Codec expired also when the PowerDVD demo expired? I thought it would.

[joeAgain------]

Yes it does.

Your use of it expires too after the demo period. I've found that out already.

I'm faced with having to pay between $35 and $65 for a program to work with DVD in TMPGenc.

Does nobody use the Kazaa version "Try FULL Before you buy"

I bought it, but I dont mind sharing

[trinity_hayes]

I've used it and found no problems with it, I have even merge/cut files encoded with vbr and no problems there either, in fact it seems to have little difference to the other 3 versions I have used. I do have a fully paid version of power dvd xp though.
