TMPGEnc converts *.AVI files to MPEG1, the format which is used in VideoCDs. Using a variety of options in TMPGEnc, you can compress your video file in high quality. It enables you to adjust bitrate, quantize matrix, GOP structure, interlacing and many other parameters so that you can create the most appropriate movie file depending on your needs.

Enjoy (or not)

Thought that this should be noted.... Quote from Web site:

Due to licensing limitations, MPEG-2 editing is limited to 30 days.

There has always been a 30 day limitation on this software for MPEG2 only - that is SVCD video file format.

The ability to create, edit, mux, demux, trim, join and otherwise process MPEG1 (VCD files) is unilimited, and since that is what this encoder is designed for - making VCD's - then it has never been a problem with me.

It is pretty rare these days that peeps have the need for SVCD encoding, unless they are ripping DVD quality movies (SVCD is used for DVD's) and there are many other applications available to do that job.

I shared this here as an addon because I still use it a lot myself for its very excellent MPEG Tools inbuilt utility - and because I regard it as "Rareware" (which I have a personal interest in preserving)

I don't know why I find myself having to justify one of my releases like this, but I hope that clears things up. And if you don't like it, then go pay for a shareware license

My bad, Mrs. Peel!!! I didn't mean to offend in any way.... and I wasn't trying to make you justify anything. I think that alot of your add-ons are terrific. Thank you for your hard work!!

I reread the program description... I'm an idiot. I thought this software could edit DVD files like TMPGENC DVD Author. (Are DVDs MPEG2 or MPEG4? Just curious) Thought: can it edit DVD files? Just wondering....

[Mrs Peel]

Hehehe, if I was offended you would have noticed me using cussy words

No, this program is only good for MPEG-1 files - most commonly used in a VCD wrapper for regular playback on desktop DVD players.

DVD authoring is a whole other kettle of fish which requires different tools, and unfortunately they are mostly shareware ones - and what is free is usually for advanced users only.

DVD's use the SVCD (MPEG-2) format and for this I use TMPGENC XPress for encoding and TMPGENC DVD Author for making menus and stuff (not free).

For downsizing 8Gb DVD's to fit on a single 4.5Gb disc I use DVD Shrink (which is free).

Your best sources for info on all this stuff is Doom9 and AfterDawn

Cheers

PS: MPEG-4 format.............. is evil

Sweet... This batch of Ripping programs is what I was waiting to see. I really like this program. Glad to have an addon for it.
