yeah, crank up the bitrate and resolution.

if you want more you better post the program, etc. hm.

You're welcome, but one thing to keep in mind:
Although TV screens are larger, the resolution is usually lower than your computer monitor. And the fact that they aren't LCD displays often makes video look better on a TV screen (at least you don't notice the imperfections as easily).

If you're converting videos to burn to single layer discs, I'm not sure you can do anything to improve the quality since you're keeping it in DVD format.
