I have used them with MPEG 2 compression and projected the image onto a
wall - as large as we could make it - it thought it looked about SVHS
quality - prety good really, heaps better than MPEG 1 - reasonable colour
depth etc. There are 2 ways of MPEG encoding - variable and fixed bit rate
- Variable is always prferable as it adjusts to the demands of the image in
realtime.

Cheers,

Garth
