Resize Issue

[red_rage]

hi,
Is it possible for me to just resize the video without any change to the video... i tried to use the resize filter without any compression and the size of the file reached in gbs...

any way in which the file will be resized without changing the size

P.S: if VD cant do it ,do u know of any other software??

You have to choose an output compression using Video/Compression. Otherwise, you will get uncompressed RGB, which is massive.

Ahhh :) man, you bring me back to my old days of video compressing, when i was basic noob, now i am advanced noob:), The video resolution CANNOT be changed without re-compressing, simply becouse changing resolution means to edit the video, which means, that the video is decompresed before the process...which means thet it will need re-compressing after that if you want to stick with 2CDs movies:) not 200GB (as far as i understand)

cropping is possible though, without re-compressing, becouse its not editing, it is just taking out a part of the file.... just crop, and there is a special filter in VD that does that i think...

thats a new one of me, how on earth would this be possible?

sorry, it is not VD, and it is not pocket divx encoder, but i remember that there was a tool that does that

You can use AVISynth. You write a script that opens the video, applies a resize function to it and outputs that.

If you don't know what AVISynth is, it can basically do anything the VDub filters can, except it does it in script form, and can output the final video to any application that can read an AVI. So you could use a script to output the resized video to Media Player, which will give you a free resize, without recompression.

Just remember, the original video hasn't changed. The script will just change how you see it. If you plan to distribute the video to others, you *will* need to recompress.

Ask around (or move to) the AVISynth forum to see if it's a viable option for you. Or visit http://www.avisynth.org/

I can remember of such a tool, maybe it's more that 1 year ago. The first time I used it I also uninstalled it, because the "resizing" was performed simply "cutting" out a part of the frame! :scared: So it was not a real resizing, but a sort of "windowing".. The process was made without reencoding the video (!!!) but it had to be already in mpeg4 if I remember, so the output was compressed as the input.
Of course I can't remember the name.. :D

It's not possible to resize, to keep the same quality and the same size at same time.

Resizing grab some quality out so you'd better use Display Aspect Ratio (DAR) changing instead of doing this.

For example my videos from Digital Video Broadcast (TV) are in 544x576 and the quality is far more better at the output when i encode them at 544x576 with 4:3 DAR instead of resizing it to 544x408.

pls neutrogenic, explain to me about this DAR, i have no idea what it is...
