I enjoyed Jack-Jack Attack, but the best value on the DVD IMHO was 
Boundin'  (The Song of the Jackalope).  When I saw it in the theatre I 
was floored.

Really?  I keep them under 1.5GB so they fit on two CD's, but the 
quality is still good.  Many of the movies I've done have too many 
artifacts at 700mb.  Actually, I vary the quality rating between 900kps 
and 1200kps for video.

I was getting 29.97fps which would then shift to 23.976 and since the 
video was forevermore tagged at 29.97, the video would outpace the 
audio.  But I'm dealing in NTSC.  What video "standard" do you have?
