New output features include the use of the world-renowned x264 encoding engine for H.264/AVC Blu-ray and AVCHD output. In addition, users can utilize their NVIDIA CUDA or Intel Media SDK (Quick Sync Video) hardware for H.264 encoding and decoding. TMPGEnc Movie Plug-in SpursEngine is also supported, allowing SpursEngine MPEG-2 and H.264/AVC hardware encoding. Users with AVCHD camcorders can now input and output the AVCHD file format with little image degradation. AVCHD output is possible in these formats: for playback on AVCHD Progressive devices, DVD media, and hard drives/SD memory cards.

All-new and improved input and editing features help create DVD, Blu-ray and AVCHD projects with stunning professional results. Up to 8 subtitle streams (up to 2 for AVCHD output) and 4 audio streams can be added to expand the reach of any project. The improved MPEG-TS file analyzer displays all available video, audio and subtitle streams enabling selection of the desired streams from the BD folder or TS file. Dolby Digital Plus audio is now a supported input format. The updated Smart Rendering engine allows lossless editing of MPEG-2 and H.264/AVC files as long as they are compliant with the output format.

The updated Smart Rendering engine lets you take DVD/BD/AVCHD-compliant video and make all the cuts you want, while keeping the original video quality upon output. In other words, it won't re-encode the parts of the video that it doesn't have to. In addition to MPEG-2 (for DVD-Video & Blu-ray), the Smart Rendering engine now supports H.264/AVC video!
