That would be a sin, since the VideoCD > versions are vastly inferior to the DV you just shot. CD-R does not equal VCD. He mentioned MPEG on CD-R, which, depending on the version of MPEG, bitrate, etc., could be better (or worse) than VCD. On average, you can comfortably fit 10-15 minutes of DVD quality (yes, an abused term) video on a standard CD-R. Depending on your bitrate, you could fit more. And, yes, with DVD-R becoming more affordable, it is a viable option for removable, high-quality video storage. -- Ed Marczak [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
