MKV to DVD -- audio loses sync - I usually use FAVC for this type of conversion. Tell it to keep the original AC3 audio, and use HCEnc for encoding. It will be 4 times faster than tmpgenc , and can also use SRT subs. Thanks. I downloaded FAVC and followed the instructions on http://www.digital-digest.com/articles/FAVC_Video_to_DVD_Guide_page1.html . But there's a co ...

MuxMan Error - Why? If you have the DVD get the Celltimes directly instead.

1080p WMV to 720p WMV? - Encode360 is frontend to Windows Media Encoder and is much better at handling formats such as MKV and AVI than the one included with the encoder.

At what point is a second pass pointless? - Presumably my assumption that the single pass is produced at a constant bit rate is wrong then? That's correct, it's wrong.

capturing video with Hauppauge wintv-hvr-950q - Sorry, I don't have this card. I have an older analog capture card from Hauppauge.

seagate freeagent desk 500gb and Western Digital TV - You didn't really ask a question. But whenever you have a choice, get the self-powered unit. The USB powered units often have issues.

DSM-520 (DLink) problems playing video, questions about AVI - Hi Ya, I haven't posted in a while, but still kicking around. Unfortunately I sold my DSM-520 at a bit of a loss, but got hold of an Archos TV+ instead, and while the Archos TV+ is NOT what it said on the tin (HDTV is my biggest gripe) it has been an awesome tool for watching movies and storing them, playing almost all avi's I throw at it.
