    That rating mostly applies to those who use stand alone DVD recorders .

    by "stand alone" vtecwil means the set-top DVD recorders that connect to your TV, not computer burners.

    EP and SP modes are just different resolution and bitrates.

    you can fit 4 hours of video on a DVD-R at 352 x 480 (half D1) at a low bitrate, but don't expect the quality to be as good as a 2-hour, 720 x 480 encoding.

    there is another thread somewhere on here explaining more about SP, LP, EP for the set-top DVD recorders..
