I've been using WinAVI for a while, but since I went to Vista it started freaking out loads, so I'm looking for something better. I saw a thread on here recently asking a similar question, but couldn't find it.

Anyone know of anything? I need to join multiple files and encode, same as WinAVI does.

Also: I hate VirtualDub and it smells of fart.
 
Encode from what to what?

If you don't like Virtualdub, I guess you're just a "point-and-click" kind of person. Nothing wrong with that, but Vdub really isn't too hard to learn. I never use it to encode, however - I only use it to sort out VBR audio and join files.

Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but I like AutoGK (for converting to AVI) and I've recently really liked Staxrip - tons of plugins, very customizable output. Works great.
 
Don't like VirtualDub? Geez... that's just sad. It kicks ass and is used by most of the other automated multi-component encoders like AutoGK because it kicks ass but, alas, not everyone has the smarts to figure it out I suppose. There really isn't anything I'd dare call "better" but I've been using it nearly 10 years, go figure.

MediaCoder is pretty popular these days, but that one - to me, at least - is a nightmare to get anything to come out the way I expect it. I know how to get the results I want with VirtualDub, with any codecs, any formats (pretty much AVI, that's a given), but MediaCoder has a following nowadays. Worth checking out I suppose. It's all pretty colored and schtuffz...
 
I understand VirtualDub perfectly well, I just don't like it. It has a very tedious system for doing what other programs can do with a click and a drag, like joining multiple files and such.

I want to encode from anything to everything. AVI, WMV, MPEG, MKV and so on. Whatever.
