            Well a standard TV is 525 Hoz lins and 720 verical Lins split in 2 sets a frame
            so you see Res is not that simple to define since each lin holds 3 colors.
            If you set it at 640 x 480 you will fill the screen with out too much trouble.

              I don't think dpi is relevant for a TV, as the dot pitch will differ between TVs.

              Just stick to DVD dimensions, force the images to an absolute size:

              NTSC 720x480 pixels
              PAL 720x576 pixels

                Google might give you better answers than GFY on this subject.
