HI i use a terapin cd recorder and the kbps.s read 1189 to 1192kbps after recording. it's 1150 normal. i also have used tmpg to convert to Vcd and the same numbers show up when i read the finished vcd dat on finished burned disk. am i really getting a standard vcd or a xcvd? or avicode is not reading right. any throughts about this? thanks for any input. bob
