ok, i read in the forum about someone talking about the 'new MPEG plugin' for VF 1.0. is there a 'new' one? where? the one on the download page is dated 1/8/01, which hardly looks new.
also, i read about how the dialog in the forum helped improve VF for version 2.0. my question is: did you finally use the LSX 3.5 MPEG encoder, or are we still stuck with the crappy GoMotion encoder. i mean, the gomotion is ok for realtime, but it's hardly the quality of even a freeware encoder like TMPGEnc. the LSX 3.5 however, is one of the better ones out there, on par with the early TMPG versions. i'm not interested in redering videos to 50Gb AVIs just to encode them to MPEG with another program. if you put the LSX 3.5 in, i'd upgrade in a heartbeat. or at least would you consider working with Mr. Hori (TMPG developer) to create some kind of interface to use his encoder as a plugin?
is there REAL SVCD compliance yet in VF2? this was a bit lacking in the last version, even though VCD compliance was included which was very good, though the encoder didn't produce the best quality picture, the files were fully useable.
as for the VCD authoring part of the program, will it allow menus (video? still? still w/audio?) or is it just simple "here's some tracks, watch them play" type? does it create SVCDs or just VCD 2.0? anything that would produce decent quality video and also allow MPEG-still w/audio and MPEG video menus would be well worth an upgrade in my book. (and when i said "still" i meant a correctly multiplexed true MPEG still, not just a BMP or JPEG made into a 30-sec video at full bitrate)
thanks
