Whats a good resolution to capture a VHS or tv show and record to vcd and play clear on a dvd player? Because the resolution Im capturing and recording to vcd is kinda blur and has lots of little sqaures on the screen?

what res is it?? the blockiness is caused by bitrate and noise, are u using anti-noise filters. btw, vcd is only one bitrate and that is 1150, if u wanna make an XVCD with a 1750 bitrate try that.

no i meant like nero converts the MPEG files to resolution of 350 x 350 or something like that. But the files ive recorded are somewhat 352 x 240 and when ive put them onto disc with nero VCD creater they are blur i want them to be crystal clear like a VHS but not as clear as a DVD. Can anybody help? Thanx for the reply.

VCD: 352x240 (NTSC) and 352x288 (PAL)

Use VCDImager + Fireburn, NOT NERO.

Ok, 352x240 is the NTSC standard for a VCD. The standard bitrate is 1150kbit/s encoded with CBR. Do anything to change this and it becomes an xVCD.

The best resolution to ENOCDE in is ?x480 (eg. 352x480, 480x480, 704x480 or 720x480) for VCD I would just use 352x480.

I would CAPTURE in the highest resolution you can without dropped frames or filling your HD. I normally use 640x480 or 480x480. The higher the quaility of your source the better, even thou you'll be 'stepping down' to 352x240 or 352x480.
