There are obviously many settings that can be used with TMPGEnc. Being fairly new to the process, I have spent much time (and many discs) experimenting with these for best quality (MPEG-1/2) while minimizig size of file. I'm not having much luck though. Action movies seem to be the most challenging. Is there an assist out there that provides templates other than those that come with TMPGEnc? I've seen Sefy and Yeshi's pages and they have helped. I'd appreciate any other direction. Thanks!
