720 x 576 would be standard 4:3 pal resolution, 538 x 576 for 16:9...

One thing to keep in mind is quality of your output...  if you're wanting visual quality similar to something like Final Fantasy VII Advent Children then you'll be rendering for years and years in P7!!!  For preview quality your render time will improve drastically but of course visual quality will certainly suffer.  You'll need to experiment with render quality settings to find a good middle ground to time you want to spend rendering VS quality you want.

Hopefully operaguy will see this as it sounds like he's spent a lot of time figuring render times to quality and I'm sure he'll have some really great input for you.  I personally don't render in Poser at all ( I prefer Carrara 6 Pro ) and you may find an external application may be better suited for your needs.  Programs like Carrara, Vue and Cinema 4D (Max & Maya for high end) are great at handling Poser scenes**,** you need to figure in your time, $$$ (for external app) to best suit your project needs.

Hope this helps getting ya started!

You are pure, you are snow
We are the useless sluts that they mould
Rock n roll is our epiphany
Culture, alienation, boredom and despair
