Hi Kwag,
I found some very interesting results on my Panasonic RV-32 DVD Player. I used one of your dvd templates and are using resolution of 720x480 (Ntsc) / 720x576 (Pal) with variable bitrate from 300 - 4000. I then afterwards do the vcd header trick and then it play that high quality file on my player. The player doesn't even support svcd, but with that trick plays even bigger quality than the svcd. This quality is with no macro blocks at all with high and low motion. No color loss, nothing. Looks exactly the same as the DVD and even a 97 minute movie fits on 2 cd's and plays in my dvd player. My highest bitrate that can be played on my player is 2520, but i get 4000. With a lot of dvd ripping in trial and error i think that you must try this template and maybe post it as new template. Whe can maybe call it KDVD-Special-Edition-Template or something simular. I think that any player that can play svcd or work with the vcd header trick with bitrate of 2520 will play this dvd file. But remember to do vcd header trick, even if your player supports svcd. So it's more a matter of playing MPEG-2 (2520 kb/s) and then it will most probably play the 4000 kb/s file.
I've done a test on old Friday The 13th movies, because i don't want to buy the dvd. It looks exactly the same and sound is exactly the same (Those Days It Were Mono). I am busy with a guide and will post a sample and guide soon.
