It's not 330p as 330 is the HORIZONTAL resolution, not the vertical. Vertical is still the same as NTSC (525 lines) or PAL (625 lines) so you'd technically have "480p" (NTSC) or "576p" (PAL) visible, with half the horizontal resolution. You can't describe these old video formats in the newer NNNp or NNNi terminology.

480i or 576i, as VHS is an interlaced format.
