There isn't really such thing as "poor" or "highest" quality for VCD, since the VCD bitrate is static and can't be changed. Which also has one other problem: you have 100min movie and it _WILL_ take pretty much exactly 1GB of space (as I said, bitrate and therefor size can't be changed) and if you burn that to 2 80min CDs, you end up "wasting" 400megs+ from your CDs. But with SVCD you can adjust the bitrate so you can match the required space to be exactly the amount of CDs you're aiming at.

SVCD beats VCD normally hands down in quality.

thanx. youre right. the quality adjustment i was talking about is in tmpgenc(sorry about that)which is part of the ripping process. it has poor to high quality adjustments in vcd and in svcd, in the tmpgenc other settings. i was concerned about how great this difference in quality was. the time difference is anywhere from 10-60 hours. im new and i dont alwsys say quite what i mean.
thanx for your patience

Well, you're kinda correct -- the aspect that does reflect strongly to the VCD quality is the encoder used (TMPGEnc is the best for VCD, CCE is the best for SVCD) and its settings -- the Motion search precision setting in TMPGEnc's VCD encoding makes a LOT of difference. But still, SVCD beats VCD.
