Hi Kevin, This is kind of a left field question, but pixelization can sometimes be a product of the processing power of the player. Are your files 1080 HD by any chance? Is the pixelazation consistent on both the PC and a standalone DVD player? I've seen this happen to me on 1080 on _some_ playback devices with demanding content, but at 720 the pixelation disappears. I think you are right that a different encoder might produce different results, but I'm not going to be much help there. I always use the free DVD Flick PC software, which is adequate for my needs, but not pro quality.
