LetterBox() for MPEG-2 without reencoding

[numlock]

hi Everybody,

Is there a way to add black borders (the way LetterBox does it for AVI) to an existing MPEG-2 file without having to reencode it ?

TIA

Do you mean you have a 4:3 picture and want to overlay black bars, or do you have an anamorphotic picture that should be resized? You can use ifoedit to set the 16:9 bits correctly. But i don't know a tool that can edit video areas in a mpeg2 stream.

Slightly off topic, but, Why?

You'll have to re-encode.
