</div>When talking about resolution in the video world, the frame size (or<br>
resolution for most people) does not count for video quality nearly as much<br>
as bitrate does. What bit rate are you actually using at 640x480? My<br>
settings for capture are 6000 for the lower end and 8000 for the high end and<br>
I do capture at 720x480.<br>
