			dont do it dont do it... 
 
vcd =  
352x240 - ntsc 
352x288 - pal 
 
svcd 
480x480 - ntsc 
480x576 - pal 
 
dvd 
720x480 - ntsc 
720x576 - pal 
 
computer has to create a lot of pixels.  even the best computer is terrible at it.   on a sd tv, you probably cant tell, on a hi-def you can, esp if it could be recaptured from an analog source at higher resolution.  anywho, ive done a lil video in my time, its just not a good idea.  for personal use, sure, just dont torrent em, trade me, etc.  besides, vcd will play in your dvd, so no need, less media cost. 
 
edit: 
 
after i finished reading, i decided i had more to add... 
 
now, if you/your friends are thinking reconverted vcd>dvd looks better on the tv (sd or otherwise)...  your pc can create pixels better than your dvd player can, so a vcd will look shittier on a hdtv playing on a dvd player than the same film, except converted vcd>dvd, because your dvd player doesnt have to make up the pixels...
