It's 704 for me..

Hi guys..

Another important fact is this...
If your goal is to make DVDs, then you want to make them w/ the highest
resolution you can go, w/out taxing your given setup, and limiting
yourself to 384x !!

I do make encodes w/ 352x480 from VHS, but am now beginning to see
an actual difference when I use 704x as my minimum.

But, don't expect to see better results if you capture at 384 and
then raise it to something like 704. That's why its better to just
bake two pies in ONE oven, and capture at highest your given system
will allow you to w/ out such issues as framedrops and others nonsense
things, ie, 704 or 720. Then, if you want, you can bring things down
a little like 352x480 for instance.

Also, note that for VHS movies that are in WideScreen format, you gotta
capture it at highest you can go.. and for me, that 720. Then, I'll
bring it down to just 704, and widescreen encode it, and it looks great
in my AD-1500 player, and in widescreen view on my cheap 13" tv.

So, for the most part, and for most people who's goal is highest
resolution for a DVD project, 704 would be minimum (for me anyways)

Have a great day all,
