DVDx plugin which is best?

[Witch_King]

Hi there,

(I am using DVDx1.7)
For those who are using DVDx can you tell me which "Premier Plugin encoder" you think is best? Why? And if you could tell me where to get it.

Thanks

Hi 2,

I used DVDx 2.2.

The only plug-in I used is Panasonic MPEG-1 encoder.
This is an old encoder I purchased years ago, I don't know if it is still available.
Compared to the built-in I think the result is somewhat smoother.
I haven't tried any other plug-in.

I use bbMPEG encoder plugin for DVDx and Adobe Premiere and for other purposes. You can download it from here or from http://www.videotools.net site.

After you get and extract the .zip file change the name of the "bbmpeg.dll" file to "bbmpeg.prm" (the .prm extension is needed), and copy that file to your DVDx directory.

I am replying to my own post...

I tried to DVDx 2.2 with bbMPEG 1.24 beta 18 ("bbmpeg.prm" file) as the output plugin, but the resulting .mpg/.m1v file appeared to be only a single frame of the source movie continuously re-rendered over and over. I guess DVDx only "sent" or bbMPEG "got" only the same frame repeatedly.

What's up with that? I remember using DVDx 1.7 years ago with the same bbMPEG plugin and everthing worked fine. The resulting mpg movie looked better with bbMPEG than with using the internal encoder.

Do I need to change the "bbmpeg.prm" plugin file name to something else, like "cm-bbmpeg.prm" or "output-bbmpeg.prm" or what to make DVDx 2.x and bbMPEG plugin work together?
