Trying to work out what resolution I should be using to get the highest quality without using a higher res than I need.....

Thanks.

European video standard with image format 4:3, 625 lines, 50 Hz and 4 MHz video bandwidth with a total 8 MHz of video channel width.

PAL uses

YUV.

In composite NTSC, PAL or S-video systems, it is necessary to scale (B-Y) and (R-Y) so that the composite NTSC or PAL signal (luma plus modulated chroma) is contained within the range -1/3 to +4/3. These limits reflect the capability of composite signal recording or transmission channel. The scale factors are obtained by two simultaneous equations involving both B-Y and R-Y, because the limits of the composite excursion are reached at combinations of B-Y and R-Y that are intermediate to primary colours

If your making a VCD

MPEG-1 352x288 25fps CBR 1150kbps, Layer-2 44100Hz 224kbps

For both PAL and NTSC, full broadcast resolution is achived when you capture at 640x480(576) pixels.
