The HOWTO says that "-d 2 is already better than VHS video (a *lot*!)." Does 
that mean that if I'm capturing from a VHS source I will gain nothing from 
using -d 1, and should always use -d 2? Or does it mean that given a 
theoretically perfect source, capturing with -d2 and then playing back would 
give a better picture than capturing with a VHS VCR and playing back?

I am capturing from VHS tape and intend to have the output display on a 
monitor at about 512x384. To date I've captured using -d 1 and scaled down. 
If -d 1 gives no benefit when capturing from VHS, would I do better to 
capture at -d 2 and scale up? (By "do better" I really mean "reduce 
processing time" - this old PIII-500 box takes an overnight run to achieve 
pretty much anything :o})
