Advice please on finished quality.

[levick]

Morning all,
I have been using both CCE and TMPGenc. I read in different
forums that either product can produce the "best" results.
Can I have feed back from others that have used both product as
to the quality of the finished file. I always complete the run in
VBR mode with the standard three passes, one for the vif pass.

I am not concerned with the time taken to complete a project just
the end result.

Thanks in advance.

Different products, different strengths.

CCE provides consistency and balance in low bitrate, high motion scenarios. TMPGEnc will often introduce unacceptable levels of macroblock noise in the same situation.

For low motion or high bitrate scenarios, TMPGEnc produces crystal clear, sharp encodes. CCE encodes in these situations are very good too, but TMPEnc output truly excels.

Just my opinions of course.
