... so they put in the minimal amount of effort necessary to comply? Makes
sense, I guess. The average consumer doesn't seem to notice- heck, I guess
it took me long enough.

So what's the point of having recording profiles that record at full D1
resolution, compliant with DVD spec?

Is that for people who are watching HDTV? Otherwise, it seems like an awful
lot of waste if all we're really getting through conventional cable is
technically 440x480.
