What is 374 vs 576? I guess 374 is a resolution measure and 576 is scan lines. How are you comparing these? As i said, 576 is the full resolution frame height. If you have less, you have less possible resoultion.
I meant the lines you can finally differ on a tv. IIRC, the Kell also affects the height, regardless how many lines had been sampled!

I'm not sure what you use...
I'm using a Terratec Cinergy 400, Philips SAA7134. I'm not exactly sure how much it samples really. Didn't find any tests so far and had no time to create a test DVD.

So when you say 520, you are simply resizing (resampling) down to that size. You can do that in post or as you capture. Depends on what does a better job. Cards sample higher than the bandwidth for many practical reasons like; line sync and ADC aliasing filtering to name 2.
OK, then I made a mistake. I thought the pels you select are the number of samples the card uses. Now I understood that the card samples at a fixed rate and the driver resizes the picture afterwards.

As far as SVCD and CVD frame sizes, BCast PAL can contain more detail than those formats hold.
Of course, because the res./sample frequency is higher and there are obviously no compression artifacts.

I think I am through with that topic now...

Next I'll have to work on the proper res. and PAR/DAR calculation for the card. Maybe I'll post a howto for the Terratec in this form when I'm done with it.

edit: Just deleted a few empty lines I didn't recognize...
