 Standard DVDs playable on standard dvd players, need mpeg-1 or mpeg-2 video.
 It can be one of many different resolutions, but it must be mpeg-1 or
 mpeg-2, so anything that is not must be converted for format and resolution
 if necessary...
 
 Audio cds, many times referred to as redbook CD audio is CBR(constant
 bitrate) @ 1411 kb/s, so they are limited in how much music you can fit on a
 CD.  DVDs can and usually do use VBR, variable bitrate video, so you can fit
 a large range of durations based on teh avg bitrate...most audio in DVD is
 CBR, DD/DTS, LPCM, are both CBR.  If you want to read about th valid audio
 and video options, try the FAQ, specifically sections...
