    Not and still be fully compliant with the standard. If you use a non-standard resolution or bit-rate, you're creating an XVCD not a VCD. Your odds of finding a player that supports non-standard discs are much lower than finding one that plays standard VCDs.

    I'm not sure about much lower. Most stand alones and all PCs will play xVCDs. Popular resolutions enclude: 352x240, 352x480, 480x480 and 720x480.

    352x480 or 480x480 is enough, 720x480 is over kill and at low bit rates actually looks worst.

    Most stand-alone VCD players and CD-i players (i.e., original equipment designed to play VCDs) will probably not play non-standard framesizes.
