For size, I would recommend 720 X 553. This is DVD quality and it's the aspect ratio for a TV screen (1.33). Animation software you push this through will stretch and maul it but in the end, it will come out correct if you start at the right place. U.S. TV is transmitted at 29.9something frames per second so I do 30 and it seems to work. I use Ulead studio and it works pretty well. I burn CD's using NERO. If I had a DVD-R burner, it will work (so it says). Hope this helps. -Kix
