I've done all the NTSC formats, and every player I've tried has worked. To use 
the DVD logo and claim to be DVD compatible, a player is required to support 
all these formats, as any of them may be present on any DVD Video disc.

That said, I've tried more than one Windows-based DVD authoring application 
that does not recognize all of the formats, and a few that refuse to author 
with anything other than 720x480. Professional authoring products are more 
likely to support everything and not only the most popular stream types. I 
don't use Windows much, so it hasn't bothered me. ;) I've done over a hundred 
DVDs using dvdauthor under linux, and although it has some maturing to do, I 
haven't had any problems with the results.
