Subject: What to look for when judging picture quality

Date: Sunday, December 28, 2003 5:12 AM

I've been trying out different programs that create a video DVD.

I'd be interested in knowing what to look for when judging picture

quality. I have recorded using a variable bit rate.

One thing I did notice that when the camera is panning with bright

vertical lines in the picture then the lines flicker, is this due to a

lower bit rate?
