No one needs to buy DVD Catalyst at all. It's just another front end to x264 but since it hides the CLI (or parameters) from you, I have no idea what it's doing. You could probably get just as good or better results with HandBrake, Ripbot264 or HDConvertToX. Although with the latter, you'll have to hand create your own x264 options. This is why I recommend HandBrake for the purpose of our Android encodes. It's 95% there already and simple to use. Just read my post above to optimize it further.
