try svcd.

vcd looks bad on big tvs

The aspect ratio setting has nothing to do with quality.
If you have in example a NTSC 4:3 TV, set it to 4:3 525 line NTSC. A wrong aspect ratio setting make the video looking stretched or squached, nothing else.
What is looking bad or good depends on your own taste only.

thanks truman, i would use svcd if i could my dvd player doesnt support it i gotta get a knew one

How about XVCD? My dvd player does not support SVCD as well.
I make XVCD with MPEG-2 video 480x576 VBR multipass and I am very happy.
