A) ulead media studio pro 7 can do mpeg2 encoding, but appearently not very well, or at least I don't have that much control over the settings anyhoo... B) I thought you had to buy womble, this is why i've been staying away from it. and C) yes just simple cuts for this, as i'm just putting the parts from the laserdiscs together.

By the way here's the difference between the original capture, and the newly encoded mpeg files...

Original #1:

Encoded #1:

Original #2:

Encoded #2:

Appearently that is the VBR encoding via MSP - not too good... I had better results with constant bitrate... however I haven't gone that high on CBR

Anyhoo let me know any tips :-)
