I don't know it but what I red it's not better than free encoders like ffmpeg or HCenc. Anyway, if it has advanced setting for avi to mpg2 encoding you should use 2 pass encoding and bitrate in between 6000 - 7500 kbps, if the avi file is high quality. For low quality 2500 - 3500 bitrate (experiment with setting) would be enough, and you may try with CBR - constant bitrate which is 1 pass encoding - quicker.

General rule: the higher bitrate the bigger file.
