 	The image is an authored DVD image (VOBs and IFOs and all).  I starting 
trying to make an SVCD test pattern disc, as it would be more useful to more 
people.  I got bogged down in the details of authoring SVCDs with menus, etc 
and lost interest (go figure!).  If your DVD player will play a DVD image 
written on a CD (sometimes called a "mini-DVD"), it'll work.  I have one player 
that will play such a beast (Apex 1100 or some cheapie).  I still think it 
would be useful to make a nice suite of test patterns and GNU the thing. 
Realistically, it's only mostly correct, since some of the test patterns 
require out-of-bounds signals (blacker-than-black, whiter-than-white stuff). 
For color balance, geometry, gamma, and for mediocre-quality-resolution, it's 
doable though.
