I have used this bundled with DIKO and it is very impressive if a little choosy about audio.For converting from 23 fps to 25 fps (NTSC to PAL)it is stunning. Every other conversion I have tried causes flicker but using Freenc (bundled with DIKO)gave me smooth playback-zero flicker.

Excelent tool, mainly for low and very low bitrates (but not only for that). In the low bitrates tests i did, provided better quality than TMPGEnc and it was smaller in MBs. If you convert your movies to VCDs and SVCDs, you should try this encoder.

I always have difficulty scoring a program. I used FreeEnc 0.50 not as a stand-alone but I used it in the AVI2DVD program ... I tried few times on different AVI files to be sure that it is the program and not my files ... Each time FreeEnc program provided me with a DVD that Audio and Video were way out of Sync ... I would say that it was out of sync by about 4 to 6 seconds out-of-sync.
If this problem is fixed ... it is a hell of fast Encoder.

Produced tons of blocking at low bitrates - 2400. The same AVS script in CCE and the blocking was 95% cleaned up. Might be free, but it isn't good. Don't waste time with it. Qenc is much better and is also free.

Don't know why the previous poster is complaining: the tool is great, it is freeware, produces great quality, absolutely comparable to TMPGEnc or Procoder and yet easy to use, if you know a bit about bitrates and AviSynth. Look around this forum or doom9.org to learn about AviSynth. Any script I used in FreeEnc so far worked nicely and properly - and fast!! True, audio seems to have to be encoded seperately, but check out BeSweet - and for beginners esp. BeLight, new GUI for BeSweet - and you should get best results - all for free.

I downloaded this to check it out. It is small in size (the zip file was less than 1 MB). I ran a 1 minute avi (704x480) through it and it encoded 25% faster than TMPGEnc at 1 pass 7000 CBR. A quick look and it looked no different than the TMPG file. I didn't hear any audio though. Given it's cost (nothing), it is easily worth a look. I urge you to check it for yourself if you want free mpeg-2 encoding.
