I could not believe it when I captured a MPEG2 at 704x480 at 6000 bitrate and burned it with nero Non-compliant SVCD, popped it into the daewoo and it played it back perfect, plus at this high resolution there are no macro blocks looks just like the original, down fall you only get 15min. on a 80min. CD-R. But for family Home movies or saving your Family Video tapes this would be perfect.
