Best DVD Encoding Software

[Tenchi Muyo]

I’am testing different software too:

i want to render my 1080p AVCHD clips to MPEG2 for DVD.

What i can say,
with TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5 i will get the best DVD quality.

I tested Mainconcept TotalCode Studio 3.2.1,
with max quality 9.800kbit

TMPGEnc 9.200kbit looks still much better.

Videos checked on a Sony 65″ 4K TV.

Is there any other Software on the market which can have better results?

I’am very suprised that TotalCodeStudio NOT able to beat TMPGEnc (for DVD),
another thing i noticed – TCS runs not very stable,
i’am importing 36 AVCHD clips total 10gb and it crashes near 4gb total videos.

Its still crashing when i remove the videoclip, then it will crash on the next following clip.

I contacted the support so we will see whats the problem is.
