Yes encoding can make things better. It can clean up the picture, improve audio video sync, remove noise. It can also make things worse. It depends on what you use, and your level of expertise . Experience is what makes the difference and is exponentially more important then what application(s) you are using. And the only way you learn is by doing.
Video is very dynamic, a black hole for hardware, and a big learning curve. It took me a couple of years just to get my feet under me. You just got to stumble through the process.

Now I am going to probably show my ignorance -- Are you saying that taking a raw mpeg2 file from a Hauppauge or ATI All in Wonder input device that you can actually improved the quality of the file by re-encoding? That seems counter intuitive. Processing usually cause degradation, if anything. Or is my mindset stuck in the dark analog ages?
