Themes are default 800x600 and any other resolution requires scaling, which I 
haven't ever used.  Also, with the latest driver 720x480 video displays with 
black pillars (left and right).  640x480 might work better, but I capture 
from my PVR-250 at 720x480, so I have used 800x600 (guess I could use 
720x480, but I think you still have to scale to handle overscan and VBI 
data).  Bottom line: I've always used 800x600 and I've been very happy with 
the quality of the output.
