Got a confusing one here ive got some movies that ive recorded and burnt to dvd with my camra . So i am trying to take my videos that i have burnt to DVD and put them on my website .

To do this i used dvd decryptor to extract the chunks that i need and premier to export them as quicktime files using the squeeze codec and a 5mb\s bitrate my problem is finding the right bitrate and resolution to use for them online , The input quicktime files are at 720,576 DVD resolution .

Im not worried about the file size i have hostgator i just want the videos to play without skipping on 1MB Broadband thats my only constraint and i want to keep the quality and resolution as close to the orignal as possible .

So im looking for the best way to approach this do i keep the 720,576 resolution ? and what bitrate should i choose . its confusing with vbr and the different video lenths

Thanks for the help guys

Given what you want to do, I'd encode them in 1/2 D1 (352x576) and a BR of about 3Mbps should be fine.
