One word... Quality Out. I have rendered about a dozen projects now in SVCD & DVD format. The quality out is good but not good enough for me. TMG & CCE both produce a better quality picture. I view most of my footage on a Hi Def 57" Sony TV so im real picky. Artifacts become instantly apparent at that size. All my encoded footage using main concepts encoder Has shown some degree of motion artifacts on it. I have played with the settings as much as the encoder allows and still have yet to get a perfect encode. One of my secondary PC's is actually directly hooked to the TV allowing me to produce & view footage prior to burning the actual DVD ( No bad footage burned ). Dont get me wrong VV3 is a very inovative and easy to use program. I do like it. But Premier still has the major advantage of being able to frame serve to a high quality encoder. I fear VV3 is intentended for the masses and or the casual home user. With out frame serve ability you are limited to the output produced by the main concept encoder. If any of feel im wrong on the quality issue feel free to download a copy of TMG 2.0 ( Its free ) and judge for your selves. As for me... Im back to premier and frame serving.
