I'd recommend if you haven't already, checking out videohelp.com or
even afterdawn.com. There's lots of stuff there, incl freeware
recommendations, reviews, and some really excellent tutorials. Me, I've
used Pinnacle, Canopus ProCoder, and TMPGenc. Last one is shareware,
that after [I think 30 days, drops down to freeware, but with limited
functions, like I think it only does MPEG-1, not -2.]
Depending on what you want to do, could you use the freeware prog,
Virtual Dub, with the MPEG addon? I'm just asking, as I don't know. I
think it really only fully supports AVI, but may do some limited MPEG
editing with the addon.
Eric's post seems to suggest Virtual Dub w MPEG may be too limited.
Eric: can you please post what SW you went with? I know this is a
freeware discussion, but I'm just curious what you found to be the
best/most reasonably priced.
Hope I'm not asking for too much OT.
Thanks
