TMPGEnc has long been known as a high quality MPEG-2 encoder. For a few years it was nearly the only software of its kind priced for the average consumer. What you may not be as familiar with are the MPEG-4 encoding features which have been added to recent versions of the popular TMPGEnc Xpress encoder.
Unlike their MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 encoders, which are homegrown solutions, Pegasys decided to use other companies' solutions for MPEG-4. In the case of AVC this means MainConcept software which is known for being one of only a handful of high quality encoders for the format.
Our new guide for encoding from DVD to AVC uses TMPGEnc 4 Xpress to produce high quality output suitable for playback on a computer or standalone DVD player with AVC (H.264) support.
You can find this and much more in our Guides section.
