Default Approximate Screen Rez Of Analog TV?

I want to transcode HDTV mpg files down to a lower resolution in
the mp4 format so they can be viewed over a WiFi connection.

I'm happy with the rez of standard analog TV, so I guess that
would be a starting point for the converted files.

Can anybody approximate the rez of a regular analog screen in
terms of pixels? e.g. 1280x1024, 512x480....

It think, it's either 320x200 or 640x400. Using the standard 4:3 ratio.

640x480 is the standard computer screen resolution for text. The
scanning lines appear there just as they do in standard definition TV.

Standard-definition digital broadcasts are either 704x480 or 720x480.
Assuming your HDTV files are widescreen, aim for a height of 480 and let the
width come out proportionally (probably 853).

NTSC is 525 lines high. 4/3 * 525 = 700, though the actual resolution
depends on the frequency response and alignment with the screen's
pixels. 640X480 should be fine.
