Would 352 x 480 @ 4500 bitrate mpeg2 work on most dvd player

My question is I coverting my old poor looking vhs tapes to dvdr's and I have found with much testing that around 4000cbr bitrate gives me the best results for saving the old vhs's. But it is very important to me that they will be able to be played in most standalone players with that bitrate?
Thanks!

Most if not all DVD players that can play DVDR should be able to play it if recorded to DVDR. If you are talking encoding to XSVCD (you did post this in the "DVD to VCD, SVCD" forum and not in the "DVD to DVDR" forum) than I would guess about 30-50 percent of the standalone DVD players could play it.

352x480 is 1/2D1 which is a standard in spec DVD resolution so any DVD player should play it as a DVD-R,if it's DVD-R capable. Your bitrate is no problem. Your audio could be a problem. DVD uses ac3 audio,your proably useing mpeg audio. Some DVD players will not play mpeg audio on a DVD. Most will,make at est to see if your player handles mpeg audio.

I think my question got answered and yes that is why I picked 352 x 480 knowing it was a compliant format and also im encoding audio at 48khz to the big concern I had was the bitrate being at a diferent rate that standard dvd which i think is 6000-8000 bitrate. Thanks for all the help, this place is a great forum

A lot of DVD players won't play such a high bitrate off a CDR disc. It will be fine from a DVDR one though. My player (a Cyberhome 528) plays up to 5Mbps quite happily, but my friends machine won't play these.
