Video Converter with best user-friendly GUI

and so is mainconcept.
it's very fast at default settings. which are not good enough.
and it still falls short of everything else when tweaked to bits.

Easy now...I'm finding that, with the correct settings and AVISynth scripts, I'm getting results that are pretty good to my eyes. What would your recommendation be?

dadrab,
a bystander says your avatar is a vase...

A "vase" as in a vessel to hold water and flowers?

Mpeg2 encoder?
HC.
free, fast, powerful, neutral.

if you think you're onto something with MC,
i'm all ears.
although i'm fairly confident i could do better with any source you provide, using MC,
and it still wouldn't be good enough.
i've heard it said MC does well with colour. personally i can't see past all the blocks.
and to nip in the bud,
use a high enough bitrate, and everything and anything is good enough.

Yes.
I'm still trying to see it...

Well, maybe that's why I'm getting good results from it. I'm not scared of bitrate and use it generously. I'm also not scared of, and in fact prefer, DL discs.

My burners love them. I can get several episodes of TV shows or entire movies on them without skimping. My players - even the feniky one in our van - play them with ease.

I see a lot of recommendations for HC though. I'm going to give it a try.

I haven't noticed any video loss when converting so far.

Anyways, I think the topic should be dead by now.

...and don't forget: A nice and shiny GUI with just a few friendly buttons. Now, if they could only resurrect Clippy too...

I think it's funny that all you pc geniuses pretend that you're helping people...stick to what you're good at...making sarcastic remarks and belittling others who don't have hours on end to sit around and figure out complicated settings to make the video quality look a smidgen better.

I like TVC, I notice no video loss so I believe this topic should be locked "moderators".

Your wish is my command! Locked on the OPs request.
