Subject: capturing at target frame size

Someone suggested to me a while back that I would get better results when
encoding to realvideo format if I'd initially capture my video at the target
frame size.  Well I tried modifyng my Osprey 100 driver settings so that I
could capture at 176x132 (which is my target frame size) for the first time
yesterday (as opposed to my normally capturing at 320x240) -- and I couldn't
help but notice that the resulting video looked distorted, almost like an
image that has the wrong size tags specified. I was capturing from mini DV
format using svideo and the vidcap utility that comes with the Osprey card.
Anyone here know why this would be happening?  Is it possible that I need to
be capturing my video at 640x480 in order to get the best possible quality,
.. and that I've been getting some loss of quality when capturing at 320x240
that's been too subtle to notice?

thanks,
