tmpgenc 2.59 has anybody tried it yet?

[doen1000]

as in title?

[BJ_M]

yes

[kayfam]

yep.

[doen1000]

how do you find it? better than previous versions?

[BJ_M]

better in what way ? seems about the same as the last several versions going back to about 1.2x .... just little fixes here and there but honestly you can use any version 1.x or 2.x and get good results (maybe not first 2.x couple of releases) .. some even swear by .9 beta version i seem to recall..

oh -- it is much faster -- on a dual xeon system

The big deal with 2.59 is support for Intel Hyperthreading technology, so if you have the latest P4 3GHz with Hyperthreading then this version can take advantage of it. Otherwise there's nothing interesting besides some obscure bug fixes.

Is it still crap with PAL encodes? The last decent PAL release was 2.56.

Is it just me, or does this version (and perhaps other, I don't have the previous versions) multiplex with audio sync errors?

Hello-I've only tried the 2.59 version once, it only produced MPEG2 "streams" instead of .mpeg files. The previous version worked OK. I assumed the MPEG2 plug in is part of the newer version, is that true? I'm guessing I need to add the plug-in? Ron B

I have a problem with 2.59 Plus:
when encoding a VCD in CBR with a bitrate less than standard, it generates a file of standard size, no matter if I choose the "Mpeg1 non -standard" system or not.
I tried to pass the output file thru multiplexing and it reduces to right size.
But when VCDImager produces the .BIN it come back to the standard size, because it says it has to pad the file.

2.57 (non plus) works perfectly.

Anyone experienced the same problem ?
