Now if only they'd hurry up and release a fully Vista-compatible version...

Are there any good GUI-based encoders out there for x264?

[jeffd]

I havn't done any encoding myself, I have no source of HD content. I just download alot of it from the net and watch it on my laptop.

Ah, a consumer, not a creator. ;-) You don't need HD content to encode, any content will do. :-)

[jeffd]

true, but the best way to see the effectivness of 264 is befores its been touched by other compressions, and I havn't to much in clean sources. ;)
