When converting something to a DVD, is it better to convert to DVD ffmpeg or DVD mpeg2enc??

Thanks and Merry Christmas!
 
ffmpeg is faster, not sure if quality is worse, but shouldn't be very far away from each other.
 
This came from the ffmpegx site:

ffmpeg engine is generally faster for mpeg-2 based formats. mpeg2enc creates more bit-compliant mpeg-2 streams and can be used in case of problems encountered on a specific player by using ffmpeg.

I'm not really sure what a bit-compliant stream means... ;) But I take it to mean, "Use ffmpeg unless your discs don't work; if you start having problems, go back to mpeg2enc." :)
