Hallo > If you're in a 625line (usually "PAL") video country then VHS has > 576 active (vertical) lines in 2 fields just like TV and DVDs. > > VHS does lack resolution though since it effectively only has 200 or > so horizontal lines. I still have not found any reliable resource which tells about the limitations and real resolutions of a VCR.
The best thing I have found by now is that the video bandwith of a VCR is limited to 2MHz. Normal PAL has 5MHz. So calcualting back this would mean that VCD "samples" every 0,125us one point, which is close to the halfe amount of samples that PAL (every 0,067us) has. So that would mean that VCR should be able to recognize and play back 360 different points per video line. The other thing is how exact they sample every point (6 or 8 Bit). And how they store every point. I have no information about that. And that is very important for the quality too. So still no final VCR reference, and guidlines. But I think recording at a resolution of 720x576 (PAL) is charming for a VCD, but not for a S-VCD. Recording at 352x576 or even 352x288 would be something that is really worth thinking about, unless you have too much free space on your HD's ;) auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
