I have a WD HDTV player for USB drives. After trying several methods to compress .mkv or .m2ts I tried this software. It consistently produces quality output in less than the play time of the video, on my quad core. If you have a wall sized HDTV then you may need to use one of the higher quality modes. But for my CRT type HDTV, the one pass "good" output looks fine. I can fit many more titles on a drive. Also I've never experienced a crash or other instability in about a dozen runs. It appears to be quite stable.
The only reason for the 9 in functionality is the lack of a means to edit an .avs script or other method to burn in subs from external files. I watch a lot of foreign films and the automatic OCR to get an .srt doesn't always work(and my WD player does not support PGS subs.) The ability to export idx/sub subtitles and just burn them into the video would eliminate that hurdle.
Even on my dual core machine the video processing with the settings I mentioned takes less that twice the play time of the video. Note that if you try to squeeze the video down to DVD5 you'll incur longer processing times. Instead I use a custom output size of 7200 MB. That produces about a 7 GB disc structure.
A little larger may be suitable for movies longer than 2 hours. For the WD HDTV player I just rename the .m2ts file produced and include the .srt sub if any, in the same folder. I'm very happy I tried this program.
I also have DVD Rebuilder Pro. Thanks jdobbs for these softwares!!
