Silliness from DCCCafe

	I get frame drops when I playback XVD movies that were written on a disc using XVD Editor.
		XVD Editor version 1.10.00 has improved the playback performance of XVD Player when playing files written on CD/DVD discs. Download and install the latest version, then rebuild and write the files onto a disc for better playback. If the specified bitrate is too high, the CD-ROM read speed is affected causing frame drops. Try writing the files onto a disc again using XVD Editor with a specified bitrate set at 1500-2000kbps.

Just to put this in perspective, 2500kbps is the minimum I’ll accept in terms of video quality. DVDs run 5000 - 8000+kbps. So when IO Data (or anyone else) says it will get your 7MB video files down to 1MB using XVD technology, understand what the quality issues are, despite their claim that you won’t lose any. Oh, BTW, XVD files (.VG2) can’t be played back through DVD players. Sort of limits your options, doesn’t it?
