        For non-professional and once in a while home video editing, "Womble Mpeg Video" is very good. It offers almost enough editing features for leisure video editing. Though it has no capture feature, it works real fast on Mpegs and futher most it does not re-encode mpeg videos.

        I tried Ulead-7, Pinnacle Studio Plus and now I've just started trying to use Premiere Pro. Pinnacle was easy to learn and thought it will suffice all my curosity for video editing purpose. But after trying Premiere Pro and seeing it vast features and control you have, am almost forgetting pinnacle. Premiere Pro though seems to have a higher learning curve and am struggling.

        Overall as of my little experience, Ulead & Pinnacle were almost same level. Though I may like again to try out Pinnacle Liquid for the present I will stick with Premiere, Its integration with other Adobe products is a major plus and I often use Photoshop 6.0 also, hence the chose.

        And a question please, which encoding to Mpeg-1 will be better, TMPGEnc or encoding via Adobe Media Encoder?. Thanks

          I have adobe encore dvd and it uses the mainconcept encoder. I also have the stand-alone mainconcept encoder. I have used the Tmpgenc product and it does give good results. The mainconcept encoder is app 3-4 times faster that Tmpgenc and IMO gives excellent results. Try a small 1-2 minute video with each and see what YOU like.

            Does Mainconcept Encoder come along with DVDEncore or only as a standalone application ?
