I'd aviod these Echo Bridge titles if you can wait till I get a chance to view them.

I briefly viewed Artie Lange's Beer League & the Mpeg-2 video quality isn't that great. Pretty much a hit & miss with compression issues here, there & everywhere + the 5.1 Dolby Digital track is at 448kbps (btw - I only rate 5.1 channel discs if there is that option) & the only other audio option is a 2.0 LPCM track at 2.3mbps. If your fine with 2 channels only you will probably not find the audio a problem as it does sound quite better than the 5.1 mix, actually so much more so that from what I've heard, the 5.1 mix isn't an improvement at all over SD DVD audio.
