I'll say it again, Procoder 1.5 with dongle is the kitty's ass and balls.

I love the quality, speed is ok, and PAL to NTSC is stunning. I render out of Vegas to get the AC-3 stream, so no biggie there either.

I suggest people search out a used copy that comes with manual and usb dongle, and then never worry about activation ever.

This is as good as you ever need to make standard DVDs with the best picture quality.

setting up with CBR, Mastering, and 8100kbs and you just can't miss.
