Standard Size for High Quality Video (Not HD) 640x480?
 

Ok, I'm finally rendering my vids to a higher quality, something I've been asked quite a bit to do. So tell me, what are you looking for? What's the standard high quality video rate from a "standard" (not HD) video?? Is it 640x480 @ 2000 kb rate? Is this what the net calls DVD quality video?

Please let me know what your standard site uses for high quality video. Thanks!

Larger and higher kb.
Easy for buyers to downgrade it.

720x480 (NTSC widescreen) 720x540 (NTSC square pix) are the standard for DVD video. Some people uses 720x576 and 768x576 (PAL wide and square respectively). 5 to 8 Mbps is the standard bitrate, with a max of 10.08 Mbps. But you'll end with uncompressed files of 45 Gigs per hour of video (at 24fps), so you may use 3 to 5 Mbps but use the 720+ pixels size if you want to sell those videos as HQ DVD video. This being said, for me 640x480 with a decent bitrate of 2-3k is OK

Spot on

Our standard high quality is:

720 x 540 or 720 x 576 5000 bitrate

our low quality is 640 480

The problem is unless the punters have a kick ass computer they won't be able to play it, or it will play at 3 frames per second. DVD work well because the decoding is done by hardware, that is why a DVD will look so much better than a lot of "HD" stuff.

around 5mb/s and 7xx/5xx is dvd quality.

I need more input from you all. Anyone?

720x480is Standard Definition size for NTSC content (DVD)

At what bitrate? 3000kb? Higher?
