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). > Weird thing is, store bought DVDs often go up to the DVD spec max and > playback with no problem. Of course the PC DVD players play just about 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.
