I guess it depends on the source. Years ago I watched a VCD on my monitor because my TV was broken. The result was very bad. But for analog TV broadcasts you can record in higher quality, PAL/NTSC isn't that bad. But you shouldn't use the small VCD resolution. If you record the full 480 or 576 pixel height, the quality is ok. Dischi -- "[Our enemies] never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." (George W.
