Probably Dumb Conversion Questions...

I'm capturing video from VHS tapes that were recorded in the early 1990s on a 2-head mono VCR.

I'm GUESSING that a resolution like 352x480 and a audio bitrate of 96 would be suitable for these types of captures to DVD?

Yes, but you need to have an audio bitrate of at least 192 48hz.

192? No smaller? How come?

I don't know. I am using the information from table at www.vcdhelp.com/dvd. Maybe you can use a lower bitrate. Try it out and let me and the person who posted the table know. I would probably be able to fit an extra show on a DVD that way.

I had a DVD with an audio bitrate of 96Kbs so I guess you can go lower, it was a commentary track.

EDIT,

I think you would have to capture the audio as PCM then convert it to AC3 at 96Kbs or if it will let you MPEG1 audio but 96 might be a bit low for that.
