Hi Lilian,

Most people think that TMPGEnc makes superior quality MPEG-2 files....
better than what you get by having Nero or MyDVD or other software do that
step of the conversion process as you move toward a DVD.

No you need to? No..... Most of the DVDs I make are by MyDVD, using the
DV-AVI files from Movie Maker. Some use the more compressed WMV files
instead. Do I get less quality than if I used DV-AVI and TMPGEnc? Yes, a
bit. Is it significant? It depends on what the DVD is about and who will be
viewing it.
