TMPG mpeg vs. Vegas mpeg!?

andy

does or woudl anyone know whether converting a file from avi to mpeg using tmpg would produce better quality film than rendering to mpeg in vegas 4.0?  it just cuts down on steps and dl'ing/installing more junk on my computer that I don't want.

thanks

The true test is your eyes. I am quite happy with Tmpgenc for most jobs. You might not be.

true... just lazy and looking for a quick fix as i have 4 days to turn this video into something compatible with standalone at best quality

I understand that. As I said Most jobs look preyyt good to me.

I tend to favor tmpg or vegas, but the quality is not that much better. Do a test from a small video and decide for yourself. Or just install both, there not that big in size plus you can use vegas for ac3 encoding if you also have dvdarc.
