DVDs To SVCDs: UPDATED! Almost the same with vcd but with higher quality video. Video quality is similiar to svhs. Cannot be play on some standalone DVD player unless stated on the dvd player itself. You can only store between 45 to 60 minutes of video on a disk. So for some dvd movie you will need 3 disk. Enter DVDs to SVCDs guide
DVDs To XVCDs: This is an excellent variation for those who cannot play svcd on their dvd player. Xvcd is almost the same as Svcd but uses an mpeg1 video stream. Highly recommended for those of you that have Sony standalone DVD players (or other DVD players that support the VCD standard, but NOT SVCD), and you want better quality than VCD.
