William, claims of 200:1 compression ratios include oversampling (10 bits vs MPEGs 8) , 3:2 pulldown, higher chroma sampling ratios and other boring facts that distort the claim.

Read the MPEG FAQ by Chad Fogg, particularly the section on The 6 Steps to Claiming Bogously High Compression Ratios:

You might want to read through the rest of the FAQ Chad Fogg did an excellent job with it.

MPEG1 at VCD rate through the parallel port is not much better than VHS, but it's comparable.

It's not for the video purist, but it's cheap and will get cheaper.
