You have a limited set of choices for a 625line ("PAL") DVD: 720x576 704x576 352x576 No other sizes need apply for the job ;) Well, you could use MPEG-1 instead of MPEG-2 - in which case you can use 352x288 with a max bitrate of 1850Kb/s. > I am rescanning my family movies S8 and I have a choice for the camera to use > such as : > http://www.adept.net.au/cameras/sony/xcd-sx900_x700.shtml > or the XC-003P which has a lower resolution but is using a 3CCD + C mount > lens for macro.... For S8 I don't think the resolution is going to matter all that much. My preference would be for the 3CCD camera so as to preserve as much of the (limited) color available (old S8 movies at this point in time might have begun to fade, etc). > My guess would be the 3CCD one since I am afraid that anything above 720*576 > will be either cropped or source of troubles... A larger size shouldn't cause any problems - we've got y4mscaler :-) Which you're probably going to need anyhow to take the square vs 59:54 pixel aspect into account. If you record at 768x576 and do something like "y4mscaler -I sar=1:1 -O sar=59:54 -O size=720x576 ..." you should be all set. Good Luck!
