Can i do a resize of the Video using the resize filters in RB, how will DVD-RB handle this ???. Lets say for eg, if I resize 720x576 to a 704x576 video.

Yes, you can, no problems. DVD-RB would pass it to the encoder. If in doubt, open one of the avs files created during prepare.

The problem would be that the IFO files would be incorrect when you rebuild. You'll have to update those by hand when you are finished. DVD-RB only changes those values when it does the conversion itself (e.g. half-d1).

How to update?? and what problem will it cause in the running.

The best advice is to not to use resize filters. You really don't gain anything significant by resizing from 720 to 704.

The problem will be different depending upon what you do and could change depending upon the player -- if you change from 720 to 704 you will probably get a slight horizontal stretching when it plays back.

If you wanted to change it manually you could use IFOEdit to modify the IFO files... but as I've seen too many people hose their IFO file, so I'd recommend against it.

Absolutely! That's a bad habit of the DivX scene to use this res. Half-D1 is far more interesting from a compression/quality point of view!

True, I screwed up my IFO's trying to do that.

Very much appreciate having this capability in DVD Rebuilder (http://dvd-rb.dvd2go.org/).
