When recording a clip off of the TV I use 352x480 and eventually get it to 352x256, because 352x240 is squished, right? Well if I'm right, I'm wondering what is the best way to do this. Should I resize down to 352x240 and then to 352x256 or go from 480 to 256?

I think the latter would be better, but why don't you record at 352x256 directly?

It was my impression that recording at 256 directly I would lose 1 field because NTSC is interlaced. So recording at 480 I would get both fields and have more flexibility for getting the best quality that I can.Gigabyte GA-K8N Ultra 9, Opteron 170 Denmark 2x2Ghz, 2 GB Corsair XMS, Gigabyte 6600, Gentoo Linux

Don't bother.
The aspect ratio of NTSC 352x480 video will be messed up by rescaling it to 256 high.
240 is the proper setting for quarter frame NTSC video and dropping a field is a normal part of this resizing. This is why this resolution is used for VideoCD.

Dropping a field is good for some things, IMO, because you get rid of any interlacing, "hopping" of text, and jaggies, without having to bother with any filters. If you want to use only half the resolution anyway, I would capture only one field. Then again, I have no clue when it comes to computer video
