    I've been trying to decide which "advanced" video editor to purchase. From what i've read, i like the sound of Vegas 4, but it appears a weakness is the mpeg encoder. Can you "plug-in" alternate encoders? This also goes for VS7 which I love for simple projects. Sounds to me like CCE is a great one, but I don't really want to deal with a two step procedure or framesurfing. I'd rather find out before spending $500 on vegas and another $60 on CCE.

    Cleaner XL, Procoder and MainConcept all plug into Adobe Premiere. I use Procoder and the Adobe version of MC with Premiere. Works quite well.

    If a serious video editor is what you're after, just go download VirtualDubMod. Dollar for dollar, it can't be beat. :P

    Vegas uses MainConcept's MPEG codec.
    Is it an old version of MainConcept?

    it is a customized version of main concept mpeg encoder and highly tweaked by vegas team ..


    but --- you can use also procoder, cce , tmpgenc , external main concept encoder , squeeze , ligos or just about anything else because you can frame serve from vegas with the free optional plug-in pac frame server
