BEST Capture resolution for VCD burning...

[godipag]

i been trying to read a lot of post in this forum but i just could get the exact answer.

What is the best resolution should i use to capture video in .avi format for editing and final output to VCD?

i been trying 320x240 but it seems the quality is a little bit low... i tried 740x480 but now i got capturing problems... lots of drop-frames during capture.

is there a resolution between 320x240 and 740x480 that i could consider to use?

thanks!

Good day.

You didn't mention what capture card and software you are using to capture in AVI format.

720x480, 640x480, 352x240, could be your options. ( VCD resolution is 352x240 so capturing at 320x240 will definitely produce lower quality video.)

Back in the day when I was doing VCD I had that problem, see if you can capture @ 480x480, then you just resize using Avisynth or tmpg or what ever other app you may be using
