You must have used version 1.0 ;) Most of the items listed are not relevant to the current version. True, it's limited to MP-ML (max frame size of 720x576). Since HD DVD (or Blu-Ray) authoring and burning are in the future that limitation is tolerable for now. It is NOT limited to quicktime files. Any file that the Quicktime API installed on the system can read is acceptable. I've used AVI files for example. I'll not bother with the other points except to say they're either not correct or not important (especially when making DVDs at home ;)) movies ;)) > Anyway I've been using the mpeg2 encoder in ffmpeg and have been I'm 1 step away from deleting ffmpeg from the system. You're obviously not running on a Intel Mac with OSX 10.5 or you'd know it's no longer possible to build a shared version of ffmpeg(libavcodec). At one time the ffmpeg crowd valued speed over quality and had horrible rate control. That may have, and probably has, change. Now they don't care the program's not buildable. I unsubscribed from all of thair lists and my stress level went way way down. Anyhow ffmpeg is not an option (for me). I wouldn't mind an alterative but with mpeg2enc "in progress" and ffmpeg unbuildable, well, the choices are limited. Apple's Compressor is pretty good - could use that I guess.
