For most stuff that seems to work well. otoh I don't have 50" + plasma tv either. So it doesn't have to be perfect.
That defeats the entire purpose of using a high quality encoder. You may as well just use DVD Flick. At least then you'll have the bitrate needed for fast action.

I have to merge the vob files together with VobMerge and use TDA3 to create a DVD :'(
Just make sure you save your working files. You can then use the free and tiny ReJig to author your final DVD. And don't forget to also use the TitleChap0.txt file to get all your chapters.
