MaDalton, I still use Cleaner XL as my main Windows encoding app, previously with standard def digital video and now with hi-def footage from my Sony FX-1. I find that even with my Dell 9300 dual core Win XP pc that encoding wmv files from my hi-def footage edited with Premiere Pro and the (Cineform codec) AVIs takes a LONG time. Especially if I am adding a .png watermark to the files as they are output, usually in multiple bitrates. It took almost twelve hours to turn a 35 minute edited Cineform AVI video into a full size (1440 x 1080 pixel frame) wmv with watermark at a 4300 Kb bitrate.
Cleanner XL is a powerful but clunky program, but I think I have learned to get the most out of it. I'd be happy to compare experiences with Cleaner XL if you like.
