AVi files transfer(capture) does this sound right?

[caveman]

I am using a HI 8 movie camera, and have a winfast 2000 xp deluxe install in my computer (no 1394 output on camera- use S-video). One of the default setting in winfast is "uncompress avi" and the setting is 320 x 240 with a bitrate of 4570. Using movie studio + dvd. When I select capture it detects my capture card just find and automaticly uses the above avi settings. Is this really the correct resolution and bitrate settling. I have changed the configuration setting in winfast to 720 x 480 as the default but in movie studio it still sets the capture to 320 x240. On a note I have never had any dropped frames. Any suggestion? Thanks

320x240 is too small, at the very least you should be capturing at 352x480 for VHS.

I had one of those cards, can't you just use the WinPVR software for capture? You should have all kinds of selcetions.

I'd use 720x480 for capture then test MPeg2 encoding at 720x480 and 352x480 after capture.
