I'm wondering, when a video is resized to a lower resolution in order to improve the compressability, doesn't the loss of information instead handicap the way the codec compute the motion and "stuff" ?

Then, what should be taken in consideration when encoding at low bitrate knowing higer resolution "helps" the codec to "understand" the animation but may (or may not ? O_o) cost more bits.
