Tmpgenc video mastering works 5 directshow

Womble can give you a DVD folder ready for burning to disc, TMPGenc Mastering Works isn't for authoring (TMPGenc Authoring Works 5 is their multi-format authoring app, which is also pretty nice for SD and HD). TMPGenc Mastering Works is not a smart-rendering editor for lossy input it was never designed to work that way, but it is pretty decent when used as a converter for a few pre-encoded formats to something else. I believe Womble can do some smart-rendering of MPEG without a lot of damage. That being so, neither of those apps is lossless. It kind of sounds like you're working with input video that's already lossy encoded. Others might have different ideas, but considering that your use of 'edit' and 'lossless' seems confused, I'd go with Womble. If you want output with menus and chapters, you need an authoring application, which is not 'editing'. It does have a timeline editor and some color correction and other filters, but using such corrections in any editor is never lossless with lossy input, not even with smart-rendering apps. If you use an already encoded video for input, it will be re-encoded entirely on output. It will take various input formats, but basically it's designed to work with lossless input formats and encode them to MPEG, AVCHD, BluRay, and a few other encodes. The TMPGEnc product has very good X264 and MPEG2/1 encoding. What formats? What do you mean by 'edit' ? (simple cut and join? Transitions and special effects? Color Correction? Denoising? Adding video tracks? Creating final output with menus and chapters?).

Members here might want a little more information. You're either working with lossless media or you're working with something else that isn't lossless.

I don't think there is any such thing as 'lossles editing' of 'various formats'. With those two products, both of which are pretty good for what they do, you're talking about oranges and apples.
