Better than most of the others and faster than all of them. Do you have any tips on using NeroDigital you would share? And thanks for the suggestion.
Great to hear! I knew you wouldn't be disappointed. As far as tips, you nailed it - I use use 200kbps/hour as a baseline bitrate. Try the Maximum Definition ASP profile, stereo dolby audio @ 96kbps, 44.1khz. I found that 48khz produces strange audio noises in BetaPlayer (although I haven't tested in the new TCPMP). When encoding movies, be sure to correct for anamorphic widescreen aspect ratios so you're not cropping the movie.
