The message is "No avi imagedata could be received!". An easy way to test is install ffdshow, then go to VFW config -> codecs -> set your file's fourcc to Disabled.

I don't have a specific target. I've experimented a lot, trying to find a workable compromise between:
- smooth motion
- sharp picture
- playable on reasonably modern machines
- not too huge

The best combo I've come up with so far is 60fps bob w/ some vertical rez reduction, encoded with x264 @ 2000kbps. I don't know what PARanoia settings that corresponds to since I'm not very familiar with it yet.

My capture card uses the NEC D64083 chip. I don't have a standalone DVD player to calibrate it with, so I've just been guessing that it's a 53.333 active window.

I'm uploading a 15sec sample to the temp space in my signature. (compressed @ xvid quant2, ~25MB)
