Maybe XSVCD?

So far I was converting movies to SVCD to watch them on standalone DVD players and was pleased with the results. Yesterday I thought of moving to XVCD/XSVCD, after many thoughts I dropped the XVCD option and now I'm trying to decide between staying with SVCD or move to XSVCD, so I read the XVCD page on this site and noticed that in general the two format are very close to each other, except for the resolution, 480x576 in SVCD (I'm using PAL) and 352x576/720x576 in XSVCD. Now I'm trying to figure out if moving XSVCD will be good for me, becuse I like resolutions like 720x576 (all this D1 stuff), but I know that this resolution means less bitrate, so I thought of continue with the same idea of SVCD (more horizonal lines than vertical) and use the 352x576 resolution that actually means more bitrate, but seems a little strange for me... comments and suggestions will be greatfully appreciated.

And another thing, some people suggested to me of moving to CVD but it doesn't work on my DVD player while X(S)VCD does. And anyway, both XSVCD and CVD has the same resolution and specifications, so why XSVCD works and CVD dosen't?

how do you burn cvd? because it is exact the same as xsvcd if you are using the resolution 352x576/480 with a maximum bitrate of about 2500kbit/s.
