TMPGEnc known for poor audio quality?

[ln108]

In Rui del-Negro's guide to "Configuring TMPGEnc for high-quality, DVD-compliant MPEG-2" at

http://dvd-hq.info/Compression.html

we are advised "not to encode the audio in TMPGEnc" because "mpeg audio is not standard on all DVD players" and "there are several MPEG audio encoders that produce better quality than TMPGEnc."

I have just started using TMPGEnc Plus, and in ES(video+audio) mode it outputs audio as a wav file. Would I be right, then, in concluding that the above cautions no longer apply? Or am I missing something? Is the rest of the advice on this page up-to-date?

Thanks!

When encoding for DVD, TMPGEnc will encode in PCM or MPEG layer II. USE THE WIZARD!!! Don't try to configure manually unless you really know what you're doing. The notion that TMPGEnc produces poor audio is crap! I have Pink Floyd the wall on laser disc (Yes I actually bought one of those things) I wanted it on DVD. So I captured it at 8mbps and ran it through TMPGEnc using the wizard setting for high quality DVD with PCM audio. When I play it through $2000 worth of stereo equipment it is as flawless as the the laser disc. The Dolby signal is intact. Don't worry, be happy. It has its shortcomings but output quality isn't one of them.

Older Versions of TMPGEnc had an Audio-Problem. But the Newer ones are fairly good.
If you need MP2- or PCM-Audio, then there's no need to use an other Program for encoding Audio.
