Hi Markymoo,

Thanks for the info, but we've already tested it, and there's no quality difference compared to the previous version.
It's great for DVD authoring, where the average bitrate is high enough, but it's not a good encoder if you want to use it for low bitrates.

Ok i take your word for it using low bitrates i been experimenting and now agree. I was trying to stimulate some interest in it to improve quality output but now resorting to Tmpgenc again lol.

I re-read some older forum messages about it and agree there also.

Cheers!
