I upgraded from TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress to Mastering Works 5 since it is supposed to incorporate the x264 encoder and I'm very impressed with the x264 results. However, I am underwhelmed with the x264 output from Mastering Works 5. The output file becomes very pixelated and jerky when I forward through it.
As a comparison I encoded the same file with TMW5 and VirtualdubMod using x264vfw with the same bitrate and found x264vfw produced a smooth sharp output while TMW5 was considerably less impressive. |
