Resizing to vcd help please

Well I learned how to resize a source into mpeg2, I also learned how to resize a 4:3 file into a vcd, but for the life of me I cannot manage to resize a none 4:3 source into vcd resolution.

My source is 624X352, for a 4:3 source I just used:

BicubicResize(352,240,0.0,0.6)

I tried combining my knowledge of mpeg2 calculation and add:
624/1.466-352/2 and then 240-37x2

BicubicResize(352,166,0.0,0.6)
AddBorders(0,37,0,37)

But this seems to squeeze the picture too much, please help me educate myself on this, how do I calculate the appropriate resizing for a vcd?

Thanks in advance for all your help.

If you are shooting for a width of 352, then:

624/352 = 352/?

so ? = 198

(240 - 198)/2 -> 21

So:

BicubicResize(352,198,0.0,0.6)
AddBorders(0,21,0,21)
