I disagree. Depends what you're doing, though. I tend to throw a whole bunch of stuff on a single DVD mainly for portability reasons, and with a max of 4000 they can look "great" even though a file info program will show they highest bitrate is maybe 2000 or even around 1500.
If I put those same files into, say, ConvertxtoDVD, they definitely look worse because the encoder is worse. I can't remember what I didn't like about DVD Flick, but it had faults or was missing things compared to FAVC. Whether the encoder it uses isn't as good, I don't remember, because I didn't like other things about it.
Point is, regardless of bitrate, I'd rather use Quenc or HC (and FAVC) than various other encoders out there because they do a better job, so there's something to be said about that. Bitrate definitely isn't everything.
