TMPGEnc

TMPGEnc, also known as Tsunami MPEG Encoder, is a program designed primarily for encoding videos to MPEG formats compatible with the VCD and SVCH standards, though it can serve as a more general-purpose media converter as well.

The application comes with a GUI that makes it suitable for all types of users, and it also includes a project wizard indented to help novices set up encoding jobs.

To help out users that need to process a large number of files separately, TMPGEnc supports the execution of multiple operations in batch mode. These can be saved to a project file and be brought up again at any time.

From the main window, users can load the video and audio sources, as well as set the destination of the output file. Encoder settings can be customized, and it is also possible to select the stream type.

If you choose to rely on the project wizard, the application requires you to follow a series of steps in order to set things up. These include selecting the MPEG format, adding filters and configuring the bitrate.

The video preview can be enabled or disabled, and users also have the option of locking its dimensions and limiting the number of frames that should be displayed.
