Re: vcd>>dvd?

There is nothing wrong with converting the show to DVD for your own personal use. The problem though is when you trade it out. The person you trade it to then continues to trade it out and suddenly somebody says "I've got a DVD of the show and everyone else only has the VCD" and then they go torrent it 'pretending' it is a DVD, not really a VCD converted to a DVD (I've got a couple of those - grrrr!).

It's like you downloading some mp3s and then converting them to wav and burning them to CD to play on your stereo or in your car. Then you trade that CDR and suddenly it shows up on a torrent site and then it gets pulled for being lossy and the seeder says 'but the guy I got it from said it wasn't from mp3!' (or similar).
