You'd better use a variable resistor of a bigger value, adjust the brightness control to get an acceptable picture, and then turn the variable resistor to eliminate the retrace lines. After that you can measure the value and use a fixed resistor of the closest value. The voltage rating of the capacitor should be at least 1000v.
Blanking intervals in modern video signals often carry some extra information (teletext, copy protection, etc), causing it's visibility on the retrace as bright dotted lines. It may be difficult to supress them completely, causing you to set much deeper blanking.
