for clearing up the confusion. Of course, that just adds another piece to the puzzle. :-)

Not all SVCDs/VCDs are pirated discs. Many people like to make backups or copies for the kids in these formats. They'd rather little Billy or Suzy scratch up a $1 disc than a $20 DVD. We take VCDs on the road to play in the portable player, rather than bringing the originals on the trip. On a 9" LCD screen, you can hardly tell how crappy they really are.
