MPEG Encoder

[kk01]

hello guyz,

which mpeg encoder for DVD, VCD e.t.c will guyz recommend to me...I want something with the best of quality...thanks

Good, well priced, but slow : tmpgenc. Good range of built in filters as well.

High quality, fast but more expensive : Procoder
See also Procode Express

High quality, fast, very expensive : CCE SP
See also CCE Basic

Free and worthy of mention : HCEnc, Quenc

Free and worthy of mention : HCEnc, Quenc

Unfortunatelly both are useless for VCD - HC cannot encode mpeg1 and QuEnc mpeg1 CBR is quite not CBR and far below the quality of tmpgenc. My opinion only.

Check out Bbmpeg ...

Accept's frameserved file's from vitualdub/mod
Accept's avs script's , such as motion menu's
Preview , what you see is what you'll get
Snip a clip , encode from frame ? too frame ?
Batch , encode all as seperate or as single

Many advanced setting's other's dont have .

It's the only one I use , and ifoedit has no problem's with encoded file's during dvd authoring .

now you guyz are really getting me more confused...which do I pick?

kk01 - TMPGenc is best for VCD. It's a cheap solution for MPEG-2.

If you have a lot of money or have access to what I would call "demo" copies of CCE or Procoder that never expire, they are better for MPEG-2 than TMPGenc. TMPGenc is not bad at all for MPEG-2, but Procoder and CCE are better.

It is generally considered that no single encoder is best for VCD and DVD and most people use a different encoder for each. However, I once heard from a guy who was using CCE to encode VCDs and he's the only person I know of who thought that CCE did a good job with MPEG-1 video, so some of this is personal preference.

yeah QuENC is good and free, HCEnc doesn't work with me with AVISYNTH 2.57 ALPHA 3, don't know why...tried everything..the image is tiled with horizontal lines, whatever, can't see the movie

Try the free version of TPMGEnc at http:\\tmpgenc.net. You can encode VCD format only. It's one of the best VCD encoders.
