How many pixels can fit on one line until a VGA to NTSC encoder
on a PC cannot encode further? 

Is there program with a frame buffer that can hold a picture in a
resolution like 768x480 24-bit color on a PC? And when recorded
to NTSC it will look different from a resolution like 640x480
24-bit color?

Are there any PC programs that can generate images in 768x480 
24-bit color and display the whole image on the screen without
going over the borders?  

Is there a difference when looking at a video that has been
recorded with a resolution of 768x480 24-bit color and one that
has a resolution of 640x480 24-bit color?

Thanks in advance.
