Well, I should probably add that I see very little, if any difference between 
720x480x8000Kbps and 480x480x4500Kbps when watching on my 27" analog TV. On 
my HDTV, the difference isn't huge, but its there.

Yes, but I sent you the links off-list. I'd rather not have too many folks 
sucking them down, since they aren't exactly small files.
