<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hello Everybody,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Up until a few days ago I had been using 480x480 2500-4000</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>bitrate for recording and getting 1.3G/hour. My wife got a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>dvd/tv combo last weekend though and it can't play misc</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>mpgs burned to DVD like my other player. So I changed the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>default res to 720x480 and waited to see my 1.3G files</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>swell up to 2G or more. Well, that didn't happen. I still</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>get 1.3G/hour. I thought I must have screwed up the change</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>and it didn't stick. Nope, it's recording at 720x480 and I</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>can make a DVD which plays just fine in the dvd/tv combo.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>What gives? Why is 480x480 and 720x480 producing the same</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>file size?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks,</FONT>
