Is there a way to change the current ulead encoder to Matrox mpeg-2 encoder

Thanks Zaman

no, but you can encode externally with whatever encoder you wish, and then import those compliant mpegs for use in DVD Workshop -- DVD WS will not re-encode them if they are compliant (you will have a choice to use compliant mpegs "asis", or to re-encode them using other properties).

yea, I see your point. Maybe it's there for expansion

Come to think of it, I think DVD WS comes bundled with certain cards (I don't have any). I wonder if those cards allow you to pick from different options in the pulldown menu (I don't know if that is true, but now that you brought it up, I wonder if that's why there's a pulldown menu)

I wounder if there's a manual way of adding or replacing encoders it would be a great help rather than guesing the bit rate (data rate) I also have adobe encore but found workshop to be user friendly, combining matrox's realtime export would take off couple of hours of waiting
