Anyone who is using DVD Junior, how do you like it. I've been using Spruceup for a while but am tired of the limitations. I need DTS and multi stream audio support which DVDJ says it handles. For $99 in the LE version it's in my price range (ie. not high). Doubt I need the Full version especially at $499. I'd be running it on a WinXP 1.5 P4 homemade Asus with Rambus 512M. Use CCE for encoding after DVD2AVI, then pulldown. Usually use DVD2AVI or Smartripper to get the streams.

And I know, Maestro and Scenarist rock but too high a price for my lowly budget. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
well I played a bit with DVD Junior. Yes it can handle AC3 but I'm not sure about DTS (though I haven't tried it). I however noticed on a simple multiplex, that audio was far out-of-synch on the result while with higher priced software (Sonic Fusion or DVDPE) it worked well. However I also had an older version so maybe they improved since :-)
Cheers.

Thanks, I have the trial and will post what I get with it. I had a mouse problem under XP with it and the company notified me of a fix (can't use the mouse Snap To while running the program).
