Hi--
VCD's have two standard resolutions--which one to use depends on where you live, since the TV standards differ in America and Europe. If you have a North American TV, you need to use the NTSC resolution of 352x240. If you live elsewhere, try the PAL resolution of 352x288.
As far as getting your movie to fit on the entire screen, go into the settings in tmpgenc and choose "Full Screen (Keep Aspect Ratio 2)". If your source is widescreen, this will cut of some of the sides. If you don't like this, you'll have to live with the letterbox effect. Hope this helped!
