My Pioneer DV440 has a bitrate display that will overlay on top of the picture, and show you the current bitrate of the video stream. Not sure how accurate this thing is but on high action movies, explosions and such, it peaks out pretty high. Does anyone else have a DVD player with a bitrate overlay feature?

Certainly reflectivity. Probably more important is good media, some words I should probably heed since all my DVD media are of the 85 cents per disk variety. --Aaron ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
