  1. Hi you pros out there,
    I'm aware that the size above is not standard DVD, but I'm capturing at this size - and I don't see why I should throw away a large part of the image and downsize to 352 px or waste half the DVD space for 720 px in width! Just where does this crappy 352 px-setting come from?!

    I don't have a standalone player and would like to know if any of you folks ever tried this setting on yours? On the PC Zoom Player plays back this file, Nero Recode or Burning ROM doesn't complain about anything "out of standards" (only tried it on the Image Recorder, not a real burn).

  2. The format you mentioned is part of the standard DVD specification and therefore should playback on standalone DVD players.

    Look here for a description of the DVD standard https://www.videohelp.com/dvd

    I don't exactly understand the question being asked here.

    352 X 576 is a valid resolution. You are not throwing much away by resizing or cropping from 384 X 576 to 352 X 576.

    In short, effectively Full DVD resolution is 704 X 576. 352 is half that. That's where it comes from.
    If in doubt, Google it.

    There IS a noticeable difference between 352 and 384 px resolution - at least using Avisynth/Lanczos or BicubicResize and CCE at a proper bitrate. Whereas there is (almost) none between a 384 and a 720 px encode on a PC, depending on the DirectShow playback filter - Nero's in my opinion, if it works correctly, is the best.

    The difference is your material won't be playable on most settop DVD players if you use 384.

    IMO if you think there is a bigger difference between resizing 384 to 352 than there is between resizing 384 to 720, then you are doing something wrong I'm afraid.
    If in doubt, Google it.
