I have a G-3 MT with the A/V card. I use Adobe Premiere 5.1 to capture analogue video. If I set Premiere to capture video at 640x480 at 29.97fps and save it directly to my hard drive, Premiere complies and does same. As it's capturing the capture window shows the video at 640x480 (like I expect). When I the capture is completed and I am working with this video clip file in Premiere, I can choose "Get Properties for..." that file and Premiere reports that the image size is indeed 640 x480. However, Premiere also reports that the Frame Size for the Video Block #1 of the same file is 320x240. QuickTime Player reports something similar: a "Movie Size" of 640x480 but a "Video Track Size" of 320x240. My question is: at what size does the generic A/V capture card do its magic? 320x240, and then doubles the width and doubles the height when I request a 640x480 capture? or does it actually capture at 640x480? If it *does* capture at 640x480 when asked, why would Premiere report ambiguous information? If it captures at 320x240, and I want to ultimately make a NTSC VideoCD (352x240), then I guess there'd be no advantage to setting the capture to 640x480 if software will eventually reduce it to 352x240, huh?
