Recommendations for MPEG Encoders?

What's have you been happy with? MainConcept? TMPGenc? Others?

 

you get better results with a hardware encoder like the win tv pvr 350

 

Thanks--didn't even know they had hardware encoders, so now you've complicated my decision making process!

Anyone else with opinions?

 

Oh, I HAVE OPINIONS

 

Well give us your opinions, hotty!

 

How about a couple of opinions:
l. If you put fifteen democrats in a room, you get twenty opinions
2. Opinions let people know what you believe in.
3. I am not one of those who in expressing opinions confine themselves to facts.
4. Wisdom is what's left after we've run out of personal opinions.
5. To obtain a man's opinion of you, make him mad.
6. In my opinion, that is enough opinions
