Hardware is no longer a better option now that compression technology and computing speeds have improved. The skys the limit on pricing – upwards of 70K for a dedicated set up. Compressor is a low end encoder and it shows especially at lower bitrates. These are just my opinions but I don’t think you’ll find a DVD professional (ie: someone who just does DVD) would disagree with me. It’s a “good enough” encoder great for quick one off for clients screeners and thats about it.
Cinemacraft has a new plug-in for compressor I think would work good for you. Its $800. Another option for the Mac is BitVice

This isn’t possible in DVD. There is a crude work around but this tutorial is for DVDSP. I doubt Encore will allow such functionality:

Most of the Studio Titles were either done on Scenarist or a priority system from Toshiba.

You need a tool that extracts assets form a disc, not rippers. Rippers remove CSS which is illegal.
MPEG Stream Clip is what I use.

No Way Jeff!! This is a discussion thread. If Walter’s wants to make it clear Encore’s a piece of junk (which it happens to be), then so be it.
If just one person saved the money in purchasing Encore for BD production based on Walter’s post, then this thread, this board and Creative Cow has done its job. The internet can be a wonderful thing!
