    Kind of off topic but…
    After production and post, our shop also duplicates an average of 500 or so DVD’s of our final projects (NTSC and PAL but without regional code blocks). Our finished Masters are Digibeta PAL and til now we have been encoding (both PAL and NTSC transcodes) via hardware (MediaPress X MPEG encoder card) to create our DVD master disk. It’s time to upgrade and I am researching other options and was wondering if anyone with similar workflows has any suggestions for other good quality encoding hardware. I prefer a hardware solution: 1) the quality is better 2) don’t want to tie up editing stations with an encoding process.
    Any ideas welcome from the great people on this board.
