TMPGEnc V2.524

TMPGEnc converts AVI files to MPEG1, the format which is used in VCDs. It is probably one of the highest quality MPEG1 encoders around, and allows you to fine tune many encoding parameters, including bitrate, quantization matrix, GOP structure etc.

Note: TMPGEnc can also encode to MPEG2, but that is payware with a 30 day trial. It also displays in the splash screen on startup how many days you have left to test the MPEG2 functionality, but if you are not interested, you can always tick the checkbox "Don't show this screen on startup". MPEG1 encoding/decoding remains free after the trial period.

Due to licensing and patent issues, I don't think any freeware can legally offer MPEG encoding features without charge, unless the freeware author is a millionaire and pay for all the royalty charges himself!
