hiya there,

has anybody tried to use this new (well,new to me) tool for encoding to vcd,svcd etc???? and if so, what was the quality like in comparison to both the usual tmpgenc or panasonic encoders??? Because it is by Discreet, the makers of 3D Studio Max,Viz,Combustion etc I must say I'm expecting really good results from it, but would like to know more of anyone using it before I go about getting it, as for some reason when I make movies in tmpgenc they don't seem to play back perfectly on the standalone player (normal vcds,orig and copied,etc seem to be fine but those that I have made myself,or round mates houses, seem to play fine on pc but in dvd player as standard,it seems to play catch up once every 10/15minutes or so n the vid speed up to catch back in sync with the audio)

anyway.....any comments re the discreet cleaner is much appreciated
