Why go dvd or even vcd?

I use DVD shrink, you can get several movies that way,with hardly any difference in movie quality.

Why would you want to watch a movie on a pc with all that annoying fan noise.

what fan noise? ... u can build very silent PCs these days...

i only have 2 fans in my PC, one on the CPU cooler which is low rev and the Power supply which is also low rev and can even be controlled.

my point of using DVD over divx or xvid is that DVD mpeg simply looks better, especially when doin 1:1 rips.

u can keep the menu, chapters, audio tracks and DTS tracks sometimes, and bonuses... with divx/mpeg4 convertions u cant do that.

I can shrink DVD's to 40% their size...and still get good quality pictures,but I still would want to know how to create those "superbits" hi res DVD's

Superbit DVDs are not "high res" - all DVDs are limited to 720x480 resolution. Superbit just uses maximum bitrate of about 10Mb/sec by eliminating extras compared to regular DVD movies that use an average bitrate of 4-8Mb/sec. So faster motion scenes have fewer artifacts, but you don't get a higher resolution picture.
