I've got a load of movies on beta tapes I made in the late 80's or so. They were all recorded in SuperBeta HiFi from Laserdiscs (yes, we had a video store that rented them). So, I've got a betamax deck connected to my capture card and want to transfer all to CDR's. But what I can't seem to find out is what the actual pixel resolution is for NTSC SuperBeta. I know it's 360 horizontal lines making it better than VHS, but that's about it. It would help me decide whether to capture for VCD or SVCD.

According to this FAQ:

SVCD seem like the best candidate.

SVCD(MPEG2) is far superior better video quality than VCD(MPEG1).
