I see a lot of people asking the question, which encoders are the best. Well, I posted 3 files on the net of a clip (6 minutes)of Ice Age. 1 is svcd made with CCE, 1 is svcd made with tmpgenc, and 1 is vcd with tmpgenc. The locations are:

the tmpgenc files are mpegs and the CCE is a .bin file. All were set on the'best' settings. So, burn them to cd and let me know what you think - cce_svcd or tmpgenc_svcd...everyone seems to have their own opinion.
