Thanks for the info, I didn't know the VCDs were available. The best I
managed to find was an amazingly pants quality div-x, captured with a TV
card and encoded with PCM sound!!

I have to disagree with you on VCD quality tho - I haven't seen the BTTF
ones, but VCD's generally are stunningly poor. Just a warning for those
techie types who may be used to DVDs!! If you've got Mpeg2 files off the
net, or even ASF's (tho they are worse), thats the sort of quality to
expect.

Cheers,
