    I am using TMPGenc in conjunction of converting an SVCD to DVD...I know this may be a dumb question, but can someone explain exactly what "bitrate" is. Is it just for audio, or is it for video too. And is it better to make it higher or lower, or what TMPGenc defaults it as.

    From the glossary over on the left side (it's a great resource):

    Bitrate or Bit Rate is the average number of bits that one second of video or audio data will consume. Higher bitrate means bigger file size and generally better video or audio quality while lower bitrate means lower file size but worse video or audio quality. Some bitrate examples in common video and audio files:
    MP3 about 128 kbps (kilobits per second)
    VCD about 1374 kbps
    DVD about 4500 kbps
    DV about 25 Mbps (megabits per second).
