I have encoded both Quicktime and AVI videos to MPEG using the free version
of TMPGEnc. The software worked fine and I got an output, but the quality is
poor. This is the case whether I encode to MPEG1 or MPEG2, 1 Mb/s or 2 Mb/s,
slow or fast motion detection. I've heard good things about TMPGEnc; is the
commercial version better than the freeware? Is there a product that
provides better results?
 
I am quite sure that the trial version uses the same encoding engine as the
commercial engine, otherwise it wont be a fair trial :-)

Its more likely you need to learn about using the software. What settings
are you using? Which template did you select in the wizard DVD or VCD ?

1Mb/s and 2Mb/s are quite low for movie sources unless you use 2 pass vbr.

But first of all is your original movie good quality? Unfortunately you
cannot increase the quality (compared to your source) by using any settings!
