For a good overview see: http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/archive/TVBROADCAST/TempRate.asp > I use mpeg1 to but at 320x240 due to my standard being NTSC over here. > I do want to jump to 640x480 using mp1e [...] Note that MPEG1 doesn't have an interlaced mode, so if you record a 640x480 stream from TV input, you'll see artifacts which bleed between the fields. Make sure you're using an encoder which can encode in an interlaced mode (like MPEG2) if you want to capture both fields in a frame. -- Billy Biggs vektor@xxxxxxxxxxxx
