I have used this since version 0.xx. Version 3 is broadly faster than older versions and offers support for Core 2 Quad processors that Version 2 did not. There is one problem that seems to be inherent to v3 and that is the extreme data compression it prefers to use. For example, I had a video of about 105 minutes duration which I expected to fill a standard single layer DVD. What I got was a set of files totalling 1.1 GB. I tried the same conversion with DVD Flick and it produced a full 4.3 GB with seemingly better quality. Version 2 always produced output of 3.9 GB or more, sometimes admittedly 4.4 GB or so. I can only assume that lower output sizes also mean reduced quality.
No one else seems to have commented on this and I know the settings I use were those previously used in V2. |
