The first thing to do is check an make sure that you are running your monitor at the "native resolution".\n\nIn a flat panel display, the native resolution is the maximum resolution of the unit. Unlike CRT displays, the native resolution of a flat panel delivers the best quality. At lower resolutions, the quality varies considerably among different brands. However, increasingly, the quality is improving.\n\nThe next thing to check is the response time, the lower the better.\nAt one time 8ms was considered good for video, now there are 4ms and there may be lower.\n\nBasically this is the amount of time it takes a pixel to change, and of course, the faster the better. Older monitors didn't have very good response time and when you watched a quality video stream you received artifacts (square blocks) because the screen just could not keep up.\n\nHope this helps.

None.\n\nHDTV comes in following native resolutions:\n720p60: 1280 × 720 pixels, progressive encoding with 60 frames per second.\n1080i50: 1920 × 1080 pixels, interlaced encoding with 50 fields (25 frames) per second.\n\nA screen having a native resolution of 1440x900 will have to resize the image. Something that is often spotted by viewers as an out of focus image and stressful thing to watch. It's better to have the resolution (especially the lines) as native resolution compared to your source material.

Use NeroVision express..\nThe movie automatically gets compressed according to the requirements with almost zero quality reduction.

You can use xrandr command it needs X server running and you can select the resolution you wanna set. xrandr is not just freebsd specific but it works on all UNIX where you use X server

You can try using screen capture programs like HyperCam 2.  Keep in mind that the quality will only be as good as what you see on the screen.

If you can play the video in full screen, you can try the software FastCap at http://www.ejoystudio.com for the recording. You need to install DirectX 9.0 (free from microsoft), nVidia or ATI graphic card for the FastCap recording.

Two things you could do:\n\n1) Get a better Codec Pack, or some video enhancement software. Check out K.Lite Codec Packs...\n\nor\n\n2) Sit further away from the monitor while watching video.\n\n:)

try using like photoshop if u have that. just go to "save as" and choose jpeg, the quality, and name, and you should be good. if you have video editing software, you can import the dvd video and export that certain frame.

Make sure you download DIVX codecs. These are the absolute best and you can get them from their website.

Use MS XP pro...get a video card...and RCA cables...hook the output of U VCR to the input of the Video card....U should be able to handle the rest!

By special software...like nero i thin..but you don't need to do that. Every DVD player will read also VCD. And with remaking to DVD - it can loss a quality

If your using windows xp, uninstall the video driver. \nwhen the system reboots, it will reinstall the vid driver, tell you that it needs to reboot for the newly installed driver and when you come back up, the resolution should be set automatically
