I've been using TMPGEnc to encode my video files to VCD format. It works and all, but I'm wondering if there is any other programs out there that are relatively easy to use, but encode much faster than TMPGEnc? And also, with TMPGEnc, there were a lot of video files that just wouldn't encode properly. Usually AVI files, when they were done the video and audio wouldn't match... long black video at the end, etc... you know the problem, is there a program that encodes almost anything but never has this problem??? Thanks...
brotha...no offense intended but you gotta pick better subjects than "Looking for something better..." very, VERY few people woll even read a subject like that......now as far as your question, i can't really speak on it cause i'm barely learning myself, but check out - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/59258, this guy seems to know his ssssshhhhhhtuff....hope it helped. peace
Well Tmpgenc is probably the Best Quality Mpeg1 VCD encoder but it is Rather slow compared to some other encoders...You could try "MainConcept Encoder" it is Probably 3 Times as fast as Tmpgenc and Produces Simular quality..It doesn"t have all of the features of Tmpgenc but it is still a very good encoder and it is the only other one I would recomend for VCD encodeing...Procoder 1.5 is also very Good But it isn"t that much faster than Tmpgenc....Cheers
In my ever so humble opinion, i think for MPEG1 encoding, the Pansonic MPEG1 Encoder is a tad better . Of course that's down to nitpicking hehe
I haven't tried MainConcept so I can't tell you from experience, but I'd say Minion probably knows what he's talking about. The other way to get faster encoding would be to get better hardware. Encoding is just going to take a while no matter what you use. Unless you have the bucks to shell out for a major vid-editing rig, I'd say just turn off everything else that may be eating cpu time and then excercise patience.
