  1. Until recently i used to be producing SVCDS at good quality, holding 37 mins of film onto each 80 min CDR. now i have changed to TMPEG and get 57 mins onto a CDR at better quality. i atchieved this by using the variable bit rate function (VBR). i know that by changing this one setting i am nowe producing XVCDS. however, my question is....

    just how compatable is this XVCD with a stand alone DVD player?? i love getting 57 mins onto a cdr but if i am going to dramatically reduce compatability then i dont think it is worth it!

    i am in the UK and so use the Pal format if this helps at all. thanks for all your healp & advice!

    If you're making them as VCD (MPEG-1) with VBR, many players seem to have problems. SVCD allows VBR encoding, so if you encode to SVCD MPEG-2 with 2-pass VBR there are no issues with standards compliance.
