    This isn't for the inexperienced.

    You are receiving video at one frequency, digitising it, then outputing it at a different frequency depending on your video resolution.

    A PIC alone does NOT have the capability to handle this. You need a LOT of additional supporting hardware.

    You will spend countless hours and many 100's of $ to achieve this... when it has been done already... do a google search for GRANDTEC VGC1000 for about $50...

    Doing it yourself will probably take AT LEAST a couple of months of your life, some expensive test equipment, and probably a minimum of $250...

    May I respectfully suggest you pick a simpler project.

    Yeah, when you consider than a CISC 1.6GHz Intel Atom doesn't have enough processing power to play a 1080p video download, how on earth do you expect a RISC 40MHz PIC running at a 10MHz instruction rate to do anything other than pong-like graphics?
