I have been using VideoWave 8 for a couple of weeks and until a couple of days ago it was rendering good quality video, the best of several products I have tried, but now the quality is terrible. I'm using the 'MPEG-2 for DVD, best quality' setting (with no modifications).
It's like the Roxio MPEG-2 encoder has become corrupted or something. I've un-installed and then re-installed the software but it doesn't help.
Any ideas?

Wow, you didn't give us much to work on. Instead of the codec being corrupted, I would suggest that the video driver may have somehow changed. You may want to install the latest one for your video card/chip. Also make sure that the setting for that card is set for best performance rather than best appearance. Check for mal-ware and make sure you have a lot of defraggmented free space on your system drive.
Are you seeing the bad video in the mpg2 file or on the burned disc? Have you installed any new software or done any updates to perhaps your anti-virus? By the way, make sure your anti-virus is off when you are doing any video work; sometimes this interferes with the rendering because it keeps checking during the rendering.

Sorry for the limited details. I really didn't know what info to include. I will try some of your suggestions and report back.
Funny thing is, I did one big render over night, going from an HD file from my Sony HC1 to 'DVD best quality' and it worked fine. So maybe the problem went away as mysteriously as it arrived. I'll have to check.
Thanks for the reply, I will keep in touch.
