TMPGEnc XPress is the new and advanced version of TMGEnc, an application which has been offering its users a simple way to convert any video to MPG format for years. With this new app, TMPGEnc goes that little bit further, offering lots of new features from within the same program. From its very attractive and easy to use interface, the program allows for the easy conversion of video files in multiple formats, such as AVI, MOV, WMV, ASF, MP4, 3GP, etc. Furthermore, TMPGEnc includes a powerful new editing tool, from where you can remove any noise from the image, convert the colour and volume in the video, crop the image. You can also create video slideshows, with a choice of transitions for the images and the chance to add some background music.
In short, this is an excellent application for those who want to simplify their work.
TMPGEnc is an excellent MPEG-1 / MPEG-2 encoder by Hiroyuki Hori. The encoder is extremely versatile, and is capable of producing MPEG for just about any need imaginable. MPEG2 support is limited to a 30 day trial period, but you can purchase a commercial version of TMPGEnc, called from that supports unlimited MPEG-2 encoding as well as various other features that the basic version doesn't have.
You should also read our DVD ripping guide that covers basic TMPGEnc usage as well. Another recommended article tells you how to convert your DivX videos to VideoCD format using TMPGEnc. This thing really saved my bacon (once I figured it out!). The only thing I quibble with about it is the lack of documentation and the interface, otherwise it would be a five stars prog. I spent DAYS trying to figure out how to properly scale a 16:9 and export a VOB as a lower resolution MPEG for a web page.
I tried perhaps 10 different programs. I had tried and abandoned TMPGEnc, but I eventually went back to it and noticed that you could change the window resolution and PREVIEW the output in one sub page. Thankfully, in that particular window WYSIWYG.
Problem solved! It also allowed adjustment of the audio track, fixing a delay that I wasn't looking forward to trying to find a program what would work to fix that either. All in all, it's a little kludgy and has poor documentation, but it get's 'er done!

Seems like this is the only free software in town. Pitty, since it doesn't work. I've tried converting many AVI's to DVD using the afterdawn guide, however, I've yet to get audio to convert correctly. On one DVD I actually got sound, but it somehow ended up at the wrong rate.
For all of my other attempts there has been no audio on the final DVD. I tried one of the commercial packages, boilersoft AVI to DVD's unregistered version as a substitute and it worked great.
Only you have to actually register to copy without the banner. Last thing I want is my name in a companies database when they decide to hand it over to the movie industry to track down potential video pirates. The one free route that would work would be to encode the audio with the boilersoft product, and the video with TMPGen. However, that brings me to the other problem with TMPGen.
It is horribly slow. It would probably take me two days to author a single DVD.
