Re: .WMV to VCD Or DVD???

Given the option, I would always convert to DVD; the quality will be limited by the .wmv source but why mess with SVCD when you don't have to? The only reason I can think of to bother with SVCD is if you don't have a DVD writer, a situation that is pretty much non-existent these days.

SVCD would be good enough, depending on the total running time.

Then go with DVD. SVCD would require more than 1 disc...

Such a tool maybe fast, but quality is degraded more than with reliable transcoders.

I did not see that the quality got degraded from original file, maybe is using some good transcoder???. What do you recommend me?
