PDVD?

Has anyone tried the "Packed DVD by Floppy" templates?

I've never heard of it, nor do I speak Spanish, but noticed the new matrix included with the latest version of the CCE patcher. Some experiments may be in order.

I came across a new DVD player(see Vsonic L103,thread in DVD player forum) with a PDVD function. Another compression codec?

It appears to be just another MPEG matrix like KVCD, etc. and should be compatible with most players already. I'm not sure what they are using it for but I assume, since it's called "Packed DVD," that they are trying to fit as much video on one DVD-R as possible. I'll try some test encodes with it soon. For those interested, here is the CCE matrix...
