Rumor has it that Zane H. Healy may have mentioned these words:

For an audiophobe like me, that sounds kinda fun... but my new non-computer
hobby looks to be woodworking (out of necessity...)

Why XP instead of 2000? My Tivo -> SVCD projects went 15-20% slower on XP
vs. 2K, so I dropped back. I *despised* that damnable kandy-koted GUI crap,
too...

My results are better than VHS, as I've never seen SVHS in action, I can't
say about that... not quite as good as DVD. But... hey... whaddya want for
$0.20 per disc??? :-) http://tivo.30below.com/zmerch/ -- for my methods;
maybe you'll find a nugget of info there to help you out?
