This came included with m Hauppauge HD PVR, and since I had no other encoder at the time I went ahead and just used ArcSoft to get the job done. It's VERY limited. You're pretty much stuck to a handful of filetypes (namely wmv, mp4) and resolutions that are fit for specific devices.
Which this seems to be more of an encoder for people that are doing this for their media devices like the PSP, Xbox 360, iPod Video, iPhone. I was using this for a video site of mine, and needed to be able to encode to MOV H.264 and AAC. Unfortunately the closest I was able to get to that was basically a 480p quality. Sort of defeats the purpose of using the HD PVR and capping at 1080i at that point
The other problem I had was that encoding was ridiculously slow. Sure I had 1GB to 1.5GB files that were at 1080i quality, but I'm using a pretty beefy machine that has the processing power to handle encoding. Apparently not though.
I ended up switching to Super (C) and found that I could encode a 1GB video file almost 70% faster. I'd rather have about 1-2hours of encoding versus the 14hours it took with ArcSoft's encoder.
