  thing is, she refuses to let anyone explain to her why an mpeg file written on a CD which was ripped from a DVD looks better than a VCD
  
  she actually insisted that the VCD quality be on par with the DVD picture...

  flash drive.. it will... and take your time with it
  
  it even works on PCs with Win98 without the need to install...
  
  just remember to 'eject' the thing or turn off your PC before you pull it out

  it wasn't.. it was her insistence on her own delusion..
  
  worse, my then-colleague, also another totally lost woman, was duped by her husband who told her that they needed really high-end cameras to be able to come up with good quality VCD images..
  
  i think he conned her because he was a photographer and he bought a Hasselblad H3D.. his line of work does not require a medium format camera, the D2Xs and spare D200 he has is more than sufficient...

  Oh yeah.... I remember you told us that before.
  
  Seriously, if you only want 4R images, about 3 megapixels is good enough.
  
  My first digicam (a 3.1 MP Fujifilm) served me extremely well and gave me consistently good 4R images.... until it died after two years of service.
