Taky, I know this is not for me, but I would be able to compare the both stand along versions as I own both and used both extensively. MainConcept Mpeg Encorder 1.52 (the stand along one which if you own Premiere can get it for $80 about) and ProCoder are both great tools, I use them both for different projects.
Because quality playback is critical for my clients, most of the time it's for big screen projection, I usually use my own settings when use either of these software, HOWEVER, I've found issues with one that the other can solve and vice versa. MainConcept's Mpeg Encoder works great with NTSC videos, but if your video is 24p, it has some issues in encoding. ProCoder works great with PAL to NTSC conversion (I do this a lot with music videos of unsigned bands for a local tv show), it provides excellent quality, however, I find problems with lower field- video clips conversion from .avi to mpeg2 (quality is not as good as MainConcept's. Lately that ProCoder have some issue encoding a 1 hr fashion/talent show video from .avi to mpeg2 but mainconcept did it without a glitch. So, personally, I would keep both, I also found ProCoder to do much wider range of conversion than MainConcept can, and ProCoder is like Discreet's Cleaner (another encoding tool that I use for quicktime enconding), ProCoder seems to be able to encode well with .mov files to .avi.

I believe they have a trial version available, but the price is quite reasonable, particularly if you have need of a format converter. Procoder will change just about anything into anything else and do a good job of it. It functions both as a plug in and stand alone.

I have chosen what seems to be the highest settings 7Mb and 2 pass. But it still looks blocky on the TV screen when rapid movement of the camera. Any suggestions?
