More than one mpeg2 codec

[rjc7394]

How does your mpeg encoding tool know which mpeg codec to use if you have more than 1 installed? I have Moonlight and Cyberlink and maybe DScaler installed. Which is known for best results? I like Moonlight but it's not free.

Moonlight has post processing and Double precision IDCT and dropdown box for selecting de-interlacing mode(or no de-interlace).
You can enable/disable options through mplayer2.exe-file properties-advanced tab-selecting the decoder and clicking properties
The Double precision IDCT mode shows details in VCDs not shown otherwise-for vobs, the play back stutters even on my PIV 2.4 GHz-but for encoding to DivX,xvid,vp6 or rmvb -enable it-load via directshowsource in avisynth 2.5.x-encoding will be slower-but better quality than using DGIndex(has postprocessing-but no Double precision IDCT) and then avisynth.
Like Main Concept Encoder-the codec is free for home use if you don't mind small logo-you pay only if you don't want logo-the moonlight logo is much smaller than the Main Concept one and almost unobtrusive-in any case it will fall in letterboxing area and you will be cropping that!!

Another interesting feature is the half vertical and half horizontal mode-very useful for anamorphic rmvb encoding-can be enabled only by loading decoder filter in graphedit and accessing property page!!

Avs script utilizes a d2v file. How do you create d2v file if you don't use DGIndex? Not sure what you mean when you say load via directshowsource (not clear what that dirshowsource is, I thought it was a codec).

directshowsource("your vob file")
It will load both video and audio-if you want only video
directshowsource("your vob file",audio=false)
