I've swapped between the two of them - other than the warning about
compatibility it seems to make little difference

I've stuck with 320x240 as I understood this to be closest to the actual
TV resolution. Wouldn't these higher resolutions slow it down somewhat?
Or are they easy to scale to than 320x240?

mjpeg used much less cpu - I'm not too concerned about filesize, so this
looked promising. However, when ever I used this I got a horrible strobe
effect that made it unwatchable.
