The VCR-HOWTO
document has been updated to include instructions on creating
VCD's! A VCD can be played on virtually any DVD player, so you can
record your favorite programs under GNU/Linux and play it on your
TV.
I also added information about the latest version of vcr (1.07),
which allows encoding the audio portion in mp3 instead of raw PCM
format. This cuts the file size of the recording in half.
