I was allways a big fan of tmpgenc. Before ConvertXtoDvd, it was my sole method of putting any videos I made or downloaded onto dvd. It offered tons of options and was quite stable, and it was pretty fast. It looks like version 4.0 is still piling up on options and tweaking you can do.

However like I said, that was before convertx. ConvertX has 3 big reasons I use it over tmpg,

1) It supports all file formats, avi, mov, MKV, ogg, as well as h264 (or any installed compression for that matter). Tmpg can get buggy when sensing/reading some of the h264 encodes I download.

2) No need for a dvd maker. TMPGenc still needs a creator for the menus and properly formating the dvd image before burning, even if you dont even want a dvd menu system. Not only does convertx make doing menus easy, but they are pretty profesional too with 3d rendered fade in/fade outs.

3) speed, I can convert a full size 720p movie to dvd at roughly 2x realtime. SD Xvid works at almost 3.5x.
