Hello all,

Just a further query regarding EyeTV .
Which file format should be used when exporting an EyeTV recording (before 
burning it to DVD)
1. For best picture quality when watching the DVD on a computer ?
2. For making it watchable on any DVD player AND computer ?
3. For fitting the most content on a DVD ?

Thanks ,

Walter
