Well, how should I do to capture 1.33:1 with dscaler5? Right now I can only capture in 720X480 making the image to have wrong ratio. Are there anything I can change so record in 640X480? Or must I change the ratio in virtualdubmod and would this have a bad effect on the image (recording 720x480 for 640x480 matrial and resixe it in VDM)?

720x480 is 1.33:1 or 16:9 NTSC. I don't know about dscaler5... even microsoft paint can resize the image for you.

It depends what your final desired format will be,and what kind of processing you will be doing.

If you're making a DVD, then capture at 720x480, because that's what your final size will be.

If you're making an AVI file for playback on the PC, then you could capture at 640x480, but if you want to do any processing (e.g. noise reduction) then it's usually recommended to capture at 720x480 and resize after processing.

No, I was talking about capturing a 1.33:1 image. The only way I can do it is if I record it stretched to 720x480. Than I need to re-size it to 640x480 to get it like it should, right?

What exactly are you intending to do?

If your final file is going to be an AVI (XviD?), then you would resize to a pixel aspect ratio of 1:1 during post-processing (640x480, 576x432, etc.)
