you can get good results with titles for womble, but there is a trick to it and here it is
in order to add titles womble has to re-encode. Normally this is a no no, but if you set womble to maximum and follow my steps you can work with it without frameserving and then re-editing again
GO:
On the timeline find a spot roughly a few frames or second before your spot for where you want your title to go. Now in womble (on the bottom right side) select the split/cut option (looks like a scissors). You will see a line in your video clip on the timeline. Now add your title. Once the title is off the screen (whenever you choose to make it disappear), go a few frames more and then like before use the split command. Now you technically just isolated one small clip for the title without touching the rest of your film. Now when you export, whatever was before your added title WILL NOT be touched and likewise what comes after your title will not be touched. Do this as often as neccessary to keep womble's encoding down to a minimum
EXPORT: when you export go under the video settings and change the quality to "maximum", also on the bottom of the video tab make sure "variable" bitrate is checked and change this to 7200. If you leave this as the 8-9 range you can get gop errors when you try to author your disc and most author apps will want you to re-encode your clip. I found by a lot of trial and error that lowering the bitrate regardless of the clip to the 7200 range and using the variable option the gop non dvd standard error no longer occured
In my last edit for the inheritors, I used a lot of fades and the like. ALL of that was used with wombles encoder and I have received no complaints about it. Use the split command often and to your advantage, it comes in very handy
PS what also works well is under the general settings for womble, under the audio tab (remember NOT the export audio tab, but the general settings audio tab) change the audio/vido sync option to "ignore pts audio jumps". This helps when whatever authoring app remuxes your film by keeping it insync. Ignoring the audio pts jumps means your clip will be made to ignore what audio packets are in the various clips you are editing. In other words it is as if you made the clip by yourself and are not editing something already made.
