Problem with both of these though, unfortunately. ffmpeg seems to cause 
problems with "some" applications. Mind, it may have been with Media 
Player, which is junk anyway, or something, I don't remember.

The audio encoding for TMpgenc is really poor, and they admit it on 
their own site. Its not a huge issue, in most cases, but trying to, for 
example, recode something can result in sync problems, complete loss of 
audio, and other issues. And, in some cases you *might* try to create a 
video, only to find part of the sound missing, or not synced right. If 
you could afford it, buying their updated encoder, which contains fixes 
for those things, as well as more formats (like dvd).

It really annoys me that there isn't anything better out there, which is 
still free. This is especially true when trying to do conversions. I 
spent a lot of time trying to do a simple re-mixing of multiple files 
together and ended up with a) lower video quality, b) sound gaps between 
the segments that where linked, etc. But, these things are, never the 
less, the only stuff out there at the moment, that I could find, which 
wasn't even more limited/poorer.
