Recording mpg's

[Jeff]

I've been into video a lot lately and personally, AVI is my favorite. 
Well... Actually, DivX. The compression is excellent. I have a CD with 
Braveheart on it. It's excellent quality even on a monitor, but when viewed 
through a TV card onto a TV, I don't even notice a difference from my 
couch. If you go right up to the TV then you can see the pixels, but who 
really watches movies from a foot or two away?

I think we all know how long of a movie Braveheart is and it fits onto a 700 
MB CD!!! (overburned of course)

I'm probably not answering your question, I'm just saying instead of MPEG 1 
or 2, I'd go with MPEG 4 (DivX is MPEG 4 I think, which has a .divx or .avi 
extension)
