Since I've gotten some good advice since joining this site YESTERDAY, I'll post something in case anyone is interested in it.
I just tried a new toy that I picked up recently... an SVCD deck. And just burnt a nicely serviceable SVCD of a 30-minute production my group did in the past. I have no idea WHY I'll need realtime SVCD-burning ability, but the deck was cheap, well-made, and does a nice job. Not good enough for archiving, but it's nice to get a full production onto a 5-cent blank.
If anyone is into SVCD trivia, the decks are being closed out now by a couple of large 'net electronics outlets... you can probably find them by using one of the price-comparison services for "LiteOn LVR-1001". They're going for $118 with free shipping at 2 or 3 places, and also play DVD's and most other digital formats, and are high-speed CD dupers as well (two trays).
