Hey joshminer, First, Welcome to AfterDawn! Second, have you tried doing a search using AfterDawn's Search Feature? There are countless threads out there that have asked the same general question you just did and they have loads of information. If you need the link, here it is: http://forums.afterdawn.com/search/ Also, you may want to check out the guides in the Guides Section of AfterDawn, as well as Dawnload.net, AfterDawn's program site. Hope this helps!
The quickest method would be to use TMPGEnc - http://www.afterdawn.com/search/search_results.cfm?hakusanat=tmpgenc Sorry you couldn't get a straight answer - cheers, Pete
