PPro 2.0’s MPEG Encoding and the new Adobe Encoder
I know PPro 2.0 is no longer using Cineform for HDV and I was wondering if they are still using MainConcept for their MPEG encoding. Anyone have any info on this? Sorenson used to work with MainConcept (Squeeze 3.5), but I think with the new releases (4.x) they have stepped away from MainConcept and their MPEG2 encoding now looks horrible if you ask me. I am hoping that this isn’t a similar situation with Adobe. MainConcept does make their own stand-alone encoding application now, but it would be such a shame to have to go through that just to make a decent encode. Any info would be much appreciated.
Also, does anyone know if the new Adobe encoder will support batch encoding? Or if you can launch just the encoder application seperate from PPro?

It’s still the MC encoder. No batch encoding in PP 2.0, and you can’t run it outside of the app, but AE uses the same encoder and you can import your projects into AE and push them through the render queue. (The projects don’t import perfectly because AE doesn’t support some of Premiere’s features, but it’s improved from the last version.)
