How to rotate -2 degrees?

Please allow a question from a newbie-to-this-forum. I searched, and found nothing on this topic. I have captured raw DV (avi) files, video of a theatrical performance recorded by a cameraman (the wretch) who had the camera tilted slightly. It's glaringly obvious on-screen, and I'm searching for a tool to fix it. I'm experimenting for the first time with VD. Found the built-in Rotate-2 filter, and it seems to do the trick. The result, however, is that long horizontal lines (like the edge of the stage), once rotated, now have a stair-step or zig-zag effect. I can't find a filter that can deal with this. I would be very grateful for any tips or suggestions. Thanks.

Several options:

- Blur the image a bit (probably a bad idea)
- Use supersampling (upsize to like 4x the size, rotate, downsize to original)
- Try avisynth and see wether it deals better with the problem.

I guess supersampling, either in vdub or avisynth, is the best idea. You probably should try which is faster.

I know this has been a while, but I'm just getting back to this project. I'm noticing that by using VirtualDubMod's Rotate2 filter I get a result that has significantly reduced video quality compared to the original: washed-out colors, loss of detail. Is this just the way it goes with that filter, or is there some way of retaining the original quality and just rotating?

Have you tried the supersampling technique suggested by Belgabor?
