    Hello, I am caputuring with and ati card. Using divx5.0 the problem is I drop frames when trying to capture in 640x480 useing the max bit rate. When I caputure using 352x240 at max bit rate I drop none. The real question is what should I do caputure at 640x480 and use less bit rate or caputure at 352x240 and higher bit rate which is best??? Thanks for any help.

    Your system specs, please.
    As Churchill famously predicted when Chamberlain returned from Munich proclaiming peace in his time: "You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor, and you will have war."

    The bitrate doesn't make a huge difference for capturing performance (unless you have a slow hard disk).
    If you're using MMC 7.5, you should be able to do 640x480 IBBP with 0% motion estimation without dropping frames on a P3-700 (motion estimation is what kills the cpu).
    You might want to consider 480x480 as well, it will look just as good as 640x480 for VHS captures.
