I couldn't agree more with that statement. 95% of video encoders I've tried are absolute junk. Either the quality/audio sync is poor or it's abilities are very limited.

The only ones I've found that are worthwhile are Nero Recode and Handbrake. Even these two have their downsides. Nero Recode has to be purchased as part of the Nero bloatware package and uses a proprietary subtitles standard. Handbrake doesn't have a video preview in the Windows version and only supports encoding from DVDs.

Is TMPGEnc capable of batch encoding? i.e. can I insert a TV show DVD and get it to rip all the episodes separately?

Looks like I'll have to see if there's a demo version available.
