I got mine set up a few weeks ago. I'm still slightly annoyed by some
softness in the picture but I'm not sure if I'm just being anal about the
quality. I can't see any quality difference above 480x480. Looking at a few
DVD rates, it appears that 3500 kbps is about the low end of what's considerend
acceptable. I can't see much different between 3500 and 4000. Scale that down
to the capture resolution and it ammounts to 2300 kbps for 480x480 and 1800
kbps for 352x480. I use 2000 (4000 peak) for my setup since I don't have a
whole lot of disk space. It yields roughly 1.3 GB for 61 minutes
(pre-commercial cut).
