very worth getting if you are prepaired to do a little work to watch it.

All you need to do is turn on some deinterlacing, and ajust the aspect ratio to 16:9 (as VCD is only 4:3 and this covers the whole 352x240 area it has a very bad AR). However, as I encode all the movies I get to DVD anyway I did this, but it can also be done if you play it back with VideoLAN (I find the "mean" deinterlacer option works best, and you can set a "input video" aspect ratio in the preferances)

Anyway, I have posted 2 samples here, one original, one deinterlaced+ar fixed.

Once fixed:
Video: 9, for CAM it is very good, extremely good colours
Audio: 8, not to hollow, sounds pretty good for CAM audio
Movie: havnt seen yet.

Nice source PreVail, but please, work harder on encoding properly next time. As the mistakes are so easy to fix I would proper again if I where you.
