Using - TMPGEnc - Manual

This is the number one encoding program out there, it has a bit of everything in it, it can encode MPEG1 and MPEG2 and gives you total control over every aspect of the encoding, not to mention the many filters it includes, and on top of it, it has two versions, a Freeware and a Trialware, however, in the Free version, the MPEG2 encoding IS limited to upto 30 days.

Step 1 - Open TMPGEnc (1a), Press "Browse" in "Video Source" and select the D2V file you created earlier (1b), or if you are using an AVI as source, select that instead.
