Any one know of ANY multi pass encoders for DVD (mpeg-2)?

I think we can all agree that single and double pass just makes us angry and letdown.

There must be more than one mutipass encoders out there?

Anyone?

Anyone?

Anyone........?

You mean more than 2-pass? CinemaCraft is one I know.
I can't agree that 2-pass is bad, mostly there's very little diffrence between 2-pass and x-pass encodings. Better choose your video bitrate correctly and don't try to fit 3...4-hour video to 4,3GB disk.
 
Most of my work is very short 3-5 mins. I just can't seem to maintain a sharp image when I go to DVD. Not sure why.

I'm working on a mac and using FCP and Compressor. The Presets on compressor just are not clean enough and there is not a lot of finessing allowed in the program.

Cinemacraft looks good but is VERy pricy and PC only.

I've made so many passes at bitrate changes I'm going insane.
