I think what he is saying is, you can have as high a bitrate as you want, but for something like a VHS sourced video, more bitrate becomes a moot point, because the original quality just isnt good enough to warrant it.

Its like that Nirvana Uncut DVD that for some reason was put onto 2 DVD's, the source video wasn't *that* good, and it could easily have been put onto 1 DVD and looked *exactly* the same.
