Although I did tweak the cq value to 70 after doing a few runs. The movie was sexy beast @ 88:35, so I could squeeze some quality in there. I didn't see my dvd player on the compatability list, so I thought I would report my success. I did not get vcdeasy to work and I don't know if I can import the xml file to nero or not, but vcdeasy crashed after making the xml. I am not sure if I will test the lower resolution since I am thinking the larger size will be what I want, unless I am missing some unseen virtue of the smaller templates. Enough rambling.
