JA5ON26, it's probably best to start a new thread for your problem. But try contacting support, they're usually very good.

JC when you say:
"do a better job of encoding for VCD and SVCD's "

is that the functionality or the end result?

I've had a go at TMPGenc and for me it's a little "opaque"=difficult to understand. I've recently used DVDMovieFactory easier to use=understand but I'm still uncertain of the SVCD/VCD quality, it's probably me. DVDMF is much slower that VF VCD prep. and delivery. I also use Studio7 for VCD prep and then burn using ECDC Platinum[Roxio] - sooooo.... what am I saying? I'm still kissing a lot of frogs! I'm sure I'll get there.

But please expand on what you say and we can all have a better opportunity to assist.

Grazie

Jim :
Can't speak to VCD / SVCD but I did test renders of the same material using TMPGEnc and the Main Concept encoder in VF to MPEG2 destined for DVD. Although it is purely a subjective opinion, I was unable to see any differences in the rendered output. You may want to download TMPGEnc (vcdhelper.com) and do some tests for yourself. The MPEG2 encoding in TMPGEnc is free for the first 30 days.

I think that TMPGEnc is capable of much better encoding for VCDs and SVCDs. You can search on my user name and then enter TMPGEnc to get all the posts I've made on this subject over the past months. Click on the link below to see the settings I recommend for TMPGEnc.

Also, another user posted a link to another site that has a wonderful description of how to best configure TMPGEnc for DVD. Many of these hints apply to SVCD as well. Here's the link:
