    Please present your resolution / bitrate setting recommendations to achieve 4-6 hrs. per NTSC DVD, in "non-standard" VHS quality caps in .avi?

    Should the resulting caps be encoded with these same settings or resized for viewing on a standard TV set?

    Thanx!

    PS: I'm currently using iuVCR, TMPGEnc, MConcept

    352x480 MPEG-2 interlaced VBR 2.5 avg, 4.0 max = 4 hours
    Nothing below this will get "VHS quality" but rather lower VCD quality.
    Want my help? Ask here! (not via PM!)

    Thanx for the response.

    Would you recommend encoding at the same 352x480 resolution as the capture or resizing to another resolution? Settings please?

    To jump in....

    You usually don't want to re-encode, quality will only suffer. 352x480 is fully DVD compliant so just leave it as-is.
