XSVCD is in MPEG-2 with the disc burnt as if it were a SVCD.

The quality will depend on the settings and since they are "non-standard" they can be anything you want.

Well actually, the frame size can be anything you want...

XVCD = non-standard VCD which means it can be pretty much anything.

Of course, certain things are more likely to work than others...

Make an mpeg2 and burn it with nero as a non standard vcd.I make 16:9 videos for my widescreen,with tmpg,and they are much better than mpeg1.
