Brian,
 
That is a very interesting chart. If I'm reading it correctly, 720x480
should be recorded at 7.5kBPS-8kBPS for Best quality.

Thanks,
Jon

	As an aside, there is one other major reason to capture at 720x480:
it's the native resolution of a DVD. Thus no scaling is necessary if you
plan to burn the content.
	


That is very true, and a useful point.

Have a look at :

Note that there is a plateau beyond which all you are doing is making your
files larger.
