        That's about the highest I've ever used.  Not because the Philips
        couldn't play it but because at that rate you can't fit more than
        ~1hr on the media.

        When the bitrate reported by mplex gets much over 6000 I start
        cranking up the filters so that the movie will fit on a single DVD.
        The other day I had a 98 minute movie that unfiltered would have
        ran right up against the 7500 limit and not fit on a single disc.
        Bit of filtering brought the rate down to around 6000 (won't know
        for sure until the run finishes in about 5 hours).

        Hmmm, I don't know how often they go right up to the max - I have 
        seen a couple that were fairly high though.   The commercial DVDs
        have the added advantage of being dual layered ;)   Hmmm, one set
        of DVDs I have are  2 discs each iwth both discs being dual layered
        (they included 5.1, PCM and AC3 audio tracks which had to use a ton
        of bits on top  of the video).

> any bitrate from any medium. A lot more forgiving they are.

        I have read that the speed at which you burn the DVD can make a
        difference.   Recording at 1x takes twice as long (obviously) as
        2x but the results were more playable in some cases.

        I think part of the problem is the lower reflectivity of the 
        recordable media compared to the stamped/pressed discs one buys
        at the store.

        Cheers,
