Hi.
I have seen a DVD made from a Mac G5 with DVDPro and noticed that the encoding was not great. The colours were fine and pretty sharp, but movement was bad.
I asked the guy who encoded it and he said that DVDPro has an encoder and he used VBR 8000/6000 Two Pass.
Seemingly encode times are quick (I use Procoder2 and it takes forever, but the quality if good) but movement on the DVDPro DVD was poor.

There is more to MPEG encoding than the bitrate; some encoders produce pretty good results at medium bitrates, and some look pretty bad even at high bitrates.
I haven't encoded anything in Macs for a long time, so I'm not sure which are the best Mac encoders these days. If you have access to several encoders, use them all to encode the same clip and then compare the results. Alternatively, you can encode on a PC (with TMPGEnc, CCE, etc.), and then import the file into the Mac authoring software.
