Also editing short scenes, even just one or two, out of the movie will cause the WHOLE movie to be re-encoded. The resulting re-encode takes an hour or more.
With TMPGEnc touting their "Smart Rendering" in this software, I had thought that just the video immediately adjacent to the edit points were re-encoded and the rest of the movie preserved in its original quality, but this is sadly not what happens. It is clear that the entire video is being re-encoded. This is a completely needless degragation of the original files.
Sorry, that is just unacceptable. TMPGEnc can do and should do much better to protect and preserve the original files.
