I suspect you have discovered what is going on. The newer DVDRs do not
fall into MPEG1 - they have the capability to remain in MPEG2 which is
the superior method of encoding.

I would like to test that on my Polaroid and Insignia units. Can you
recommend a utility that will unambiguously determine the encoding
standard. I use GSpot for DixX/XviD but it does not work for MPEG1 or
MPEG2.
