Resolution Question, again...

[vigi_lante]

Sorry, I know that there is a lot of topics talking about this, but I readed most of them and I still could not find a clear and reasonable answer.

I always capture from a analog TV signal (NTSC). To reach the best quality during the post processing (deinterlace, filters etc), I think that the best it to capture at max resolution (720x480), process the video, and then resize it.

Considering that my final format is XVID, I'm not targeting any standard (like DVD standard), and my capture card is capable to capture the real resolution (and not only half the vertical resolution like some cards). Which would be my resize resolution to achieve the best (visible) quality ?

One more information...

People say that the closest resolution from analog TV cable would be something like 352x480. So, if I use this as my final video resize, it would be better to capture at 704x480 instead of 720x480, since 704/2= 352 ?
