This may sound like a stupid question but does the resolution stated in the video files downloaded from the net relate to the screen size? I'm just wondering how I can tell if a video I am downloading is full screen quality or not. I do notice that when full screen is stated the resolution always seems higher, like 720 x 480.
tia!

No it doesn't really relate to the screen size. You will know what is full screen material by the size of the movie. For example 352x288 (or 240) is very good as full screen. Anything bigger is even better but you shouldn't bother with those that are a lot smaller than 352x288

when burned to SVCD, 352x288 is hard to notice a difference from the original DVD when authored directly from DVD to SVCD! Otherwise, it depends on the quality of the downloaded DivX file you are trying to convert, but its never as good when converting from DivX to SVCD because they are both lossy formats, and it will lose quality in the conversion, in which case the resolution makes no difference.

Hope I helped and not adding to the confusion
