Why XP instead of 2000? My Tivo -> SVCD projects
went 15-20% slower on XP
vs. 2K, so I dropped back. I *despised* that damnable kandy-koted GUI crap,
too...
If you are serious about these kinds of conversions, you might want to
look into the VCD burner from Terapin. Its a little pricey (about $600),
but it burns directly to VCD like a VCR, and works GREAT.
It also claims to bypass macrovision when duping VHS or DVD, but I admit,
I have not tried to copy a macrovised item yet (I only use mine for live
recording, or for saving iMovie created movies to VCD since it is MUCH
faster to do realtime output via a scan converter to the VCD burner, than
it is to wait for my iMac to render a VCD compatible MPEG)
