Best video size for CRT TV???

[go4saket]

Hi guys!

I have a few home shooted videos in DV-AVI format. I want to convert them to XVID format. What is the best Video Size in which I should encode it. I want to see the final output on a 29" CRT TV. As a video in DVD format is different than that of VCD format and both runs fine on a TV, I am not able to decide which size gives the best output on TV. Please help.

Thank you.

Why you need to convert DV to XVID?

Best Video Size for PAL is 720*576 if in 1.06 PAR, If you want it in Square Pizel, try 768*576.

Is your CRT TV connected to your PC? If not, will your DVD Player supports XVID? (!)

DVD uses 702*576 (Yes, I am sure, its not 704 / 720) and VCD uses 352 *288

If your DVD Player support Divx you can try to encode in it. If not use MPEG-2 codec at 2 pass CBR around 8000Mbps in 720*576 size(Yes, its the enduser spec).
