Anybody using Womble's MPEG Video Wizard?

Womble recommended this to me after I reported having problems with mpeg2vcr (it was demolishing the audio on longer vob's that I was trying to edit). Preliminary results: I'm in love. It has a really slick editor that put together a 2 hour movie for me out of a big batch of clips (some mpeg, some vob) and allowed me to do a lot of audio editing (certain scenes had to have new audio transitions added, while the existing audio fades in and out appropriately). Compared to cutting and saving mpegs with any other program, this was really easy and painless, and my finished mpeg file appears to be perfect. I have yet to burn a DVD and watch it on my player, so the jury is still partially out, but I think I've found a good tool for what I do.

i found that it remembles the older dazzle movie star software editor. But on problems i have had with womble for certain clips, the wmvw encountered the same issues as well. So i am just sticking with the mpg2vcr. Their both virtually the same anyway, just one has a better looking gui

The main problem I had with mpeg2vcr, that I'm not having with MPEG Video Wizard, is that when I would trim a large vob file - like cut 7 or 8 minutes worth of a 15 minute vob and then save as mpeg - it would turn the audio into a noisy, unintelligible mush. I haven't had this problem with the MVW, perhaps because the edit feature doesn't seem to be actually cutting the source file. My immediate impression of it is that it works better, although I'm still using mpeg2vcr for some things (mostly for editing shorter mpegs).
