How secure are sparsebundles?

[se.e]

How secure are sparsebundles? I'm especially interested in a comparison with truecrypt, when plausible deniability is not an issue. I couldn't find solid information about sparsebundles vs truecrypt on the net.

 

[r.j.s]

They are as secure as the password.

Captain obvious to the rescue.

So, no known attacks besides brute force / dictionary? Then I'll settle with a sparsebundle, comfort wins.

It has nothing to do with what kind of file is encrypted; it has everything to do with how it is encrypted and if the implementation is correct.
