 <p>I must say though that the quality is not as bad as I had anticipated, given the resolution and the file size (and the codec!). On my tiny 14&rsquo;&rsquo; CRT TV I had in my bedroom back in the day it would have probably been fine and not looked much different in terms of quality than a VHS tape.</p>
 <p>But just to get a sense of the difference in terms of quality, here is the VCD version next to the Full HD (1080p) version:</p>
 <img class="image" src="/images/vcd/matrix3.jpg" style="width:100%; height:auto;"/>
+<p>And here at roughly the same size:</p>
+<img class="image" src="/images/vcd/matrix4.jpg" style="width:100%; height:auto;"/>
 <p>4k of course is even bigger, but my screen isn&rsquo;t big enough to show a full 4k window ;)</p>
 <p>As a sidenote, one of the first movies I got as a pirated digital copy before the official DVD release from a friend in school was The Matrix, so as a flashback to this, that&rsquo;s the movie I chose to burn on the VCD. The quality of that copy back then was even worse than what I created here, because if I recall correctly it was filmed off a cinema screen&hellip;</p>
 <p>So would I recommend you do this? Absolutely not of course! But it was fun figuring this out, and seeing that my DVD player actually played the CD was still very satisfying.</p>
