I am using this guide, and I understand everything but the size.

In AVIcodec, my video has the size of 512x272

"Video : 567 MB, 545 Kbps, 23.976 fps, 512*272 (16:9), DIV3 = DivX v3 MPEG-4 (Low-Motion), Supported"

So according to this guide which size do I want to choose?

As the guide says:

720x576 (for PAL) or 720x480 (for NTSC) (except as noted below)

These are the standard, uncropped DV / DVD / D1 full-resolution sizes. There are also cropped modes (704x576 for PAL, 704x480 for NTSC), which should be used if you have an analog capture card that does not include the overscan area.

There are also half-resolution modes (352x576 for PAL and 352x480 for NTSC) and quarter resolution (MPEG-1) modes (352x288 for PAL, 352x240 for NTSC), which may be of interest for archival of low-quality video. If you want good quality, however, you should always use the full resolution modes (720 or 704 pixels wide, depending on your source footage).

Hope this helps!! 8)
