reencode x264 to lower bitrate

[reb0rn]

I have movie in MKV format (x264, 1920x800 (2.42:1), 9797 kbit/s ) which i demuxed mkvextract.exe, but now i want to reencode it to lower bit rate and resolution so 8GB file could fit to DVD

Virtualdub and megui (directshow error)could not open that file...
Which tool should i use for it?

My favourite way right now is to use Neuron's DGAVCindex, which is the H.264 equivalent to DGindex, meGUI can't yet do this automatically, so you have to snag the tool (look a couple of posts down), index the file and make your own avisynth script, something like


loadplugin("DGAVCDecode.dll")
AVCSource("file.dga")
Spline36Resize(1280,720)
Then you can open the avs file in meGUI and encode as normal. More info is in the DGAVCindex thread.

Sorry, it's not a couple of posts down is it, as it's in a different forum....
