640x368 or 480x288

[psxiso]

hi

I use avi.NET to convert DVD to Xvid.

1 min and 5 sec of DVD:
Output to XVID:

640x 368
Quanz: 3.0
11.6MB

480x288
Quanz: 2.5
10.8M


Can anyone tell me which one is better in term of QUALITY, I'll watch these on my 17inch monitor FullScreen and on an average TV with my PS2 (able to play Xvid).

thanks in advance.

You are the only one who can say, since you are the only one who can look at them both and compare.

You could also consider say 480x368 with the PAR set to 184:135. No AR error that way either.
640/368 = 1.74, ~2% error
480/288 = 1.67. ~7% error
Assume you were aiming for 1.78

i can't tell the different between the two.
So if to choose 1 of them, 640/368 would be the recommended?
