For NTSC, scan at any size higher than 704x480 (704x576 for PAL). However, you have to do an aspect conversion to make the pictures look correct. Normal 4:3 aspect ratios are 640x480, 800x600, 1280x960. When you want to burn them onto a VCD, you should convert them to 704x480. This is not a simple resize, but also a change in aspect ratio. The picture will look stretch horizontally on the PC, but will be shown correctly on the TV monitor.
So, capture any 4:3 image size and convert the image to 704x480.
