In the near future, hopefully the homebrew community will be able to run out DVD-Rs / DVD+R DLs with H264 & VC-1 video, but for the short term, HD DVD is stuck with MPEG-2, although at least that works (I understand Blu-ray and Ulead don't)

Sorry...that's Blu-Ray. HD DVD uses VC1 almost completely and is a much more efficient codec taking up 1/3 the space (sometimes less) than MPEG2 does.

Oh totally. I'll be doing it with the recent Madonna concert as well. But, yeah, unfortunately we'll be stuck with MPEG2 for the moment because that's all they're offering with regards to authoring. Even still, those MPEG4 captures from the UK are MPEG2 sizes so the quality should be great...but still wouldn't fit all on on DL DVD. We'll have to wait until recordable HD DVD's come out.
