  Export to VOB (for media streming with surround sound)
  Smart TVs are great at streaming videos, but unfortunately there's no Magix (MEP 2016 Plus) export options that support 5.1 surround sound. My workaround is to "burn" a simple DVD disk image (using the DVD PAL AC3 option) and then use other freeware

  Encoding Standard Definition with H.264
  Is it at all possible that H.264 simply isn’t as good at encoding/compressing standard definition video compared to MPEG-2? The reason I ask is because when I encode a 720x576 VOB file in MPEG-4 H.264, the resulting quality ends up pretty rubbish
