hi everyone, i have just installed nero vision express 6 on my pc, and want to use it for everything to do with video capture/editing/encoding/burning/movie backup etc but have noticed a lot of people saying that the mpeg2 encoder on this program is pretty crappy compared to a stand alone program, is this correct.
I have been using different programs to do different things, and just want i easy to use program that will do everything and retain good quality.
currently i use sonic MyDVD to capture my digital video to my pc in mpeg2 format (either 720x576 or 352x576)
i use arcsoft SHOWBIZ to do basic video editing and re-encoding of WMV/AVI vids to MPEG2, then i use nero 6 to copy the finished mpeg2 video file to dvd-r disc to playback on my tv.
i dont bother with creating special dvd projects using fancy menus, im happy just to copy an mpeg2 video onto a disc and let the dvd player use its default menus to list the videos on the disc.
the problem with using arcsoft SHOWBIZ to re-encode avi or wmv files etc to mpeg2 is it can take 3 to 4 hrs to to convert a 1 hr avi or wmv file, is this also the case when using other encoding software, and if not, what is the best free software on the market to do all the things i want to do, the main thing being able to convert any video file type to mpeg2.
i also use dvd shrink to backup dvd movies, so is nero 6 recode2 ok for doing this type of backup, or should i keep using dvd shrink, its a great program, and am happy to continue using it.
hope someone understands where im coming from, or where im going to re this thread, and all advice is greatly appreciated.....GLEN
