Hi! I thought we could burn to a 8 gb DVD nowadays? If so, keeping data rates high enough on DVD to have picture quality just as good as DV-tape, if not better, should be possible?
But I have also noticed that using too high data rates can cause some playback machines to misbehave. Maybe best highest data rate is around 7000, maybe 7500?
