resolution/bitrates for pioneer dvrs at different settings

[akrako1]

Has anyone come across a list/chart of the different resolutions, video bitrates, and audio format/bitrates for the pioneer dvd-recorders? I've got a dvr-320, and would like to be able to see at a glance the different settings. I'm picturing something like this: (these numbers are guesses)

Setting   Length/disc Resolution Vid-Bitrate AudioFmt Aud-Bitrate
mn32      1hr2m/disc  720x480    8000vbr     PCM      1536 (PCM)
mn31      1hr10m/disc 720x480    7500vbr     AC-3     384

If such a thing doesn't exist, can we create one? I would think something like this would be useful for ALL models of DVD-Recorders, as users at our level need such information... Maybe add this as a feature to the dvd-recorder listings?

c'mon I've seen posts talking about this before... somebody's got this info.. I'd be happy to publish a site with all the info on the web if needed...

Thanks for the above link! I will defenetly print it out and keep it with my dvr-320 (maybe affix to back of remote)

Does anybody know how the audio formats (PCM vs AC3, and bitrates) correspond with the chart given in the link above? Is it only mn32 that has PCM sound? Are all others a standard bitrate, or depend on length?
