169 <P><B><A NAME=2.4.3.2>2.4.3.2. Rescaling movies</A></B></P> |
3438 | 170 |
171 <P>Often the need to resize movie images' size emerges. Its reasons can be many, | |
172 examples are decreasing output file size, encoding SVCDs to DivX. Ripped DVDs | |
173 are mostly rescaled, for example a 4:3 DVD should be 640x480, especially | |
174 when you want it to fit to 1 CD, and have good quality at the same time. | |
175 SVCDs have 480x480 size, and their header contains the aspect ratio the | |
176 player should use (Ex.: 480x480 + 4:3 = 640x480). However when encoding to | |
177 AVI (DivX) files, you have be aware that AVI headers don't store this | |
178 value. Thus, the only solution is rescaling.</P> | |
179 | |
5968 | 180 <P>The scaling process is handled by the <I>'scale'</I> video filter: |
181 <CODE>-vop scale=X:Y</CODE>. Its quality can be set with the | |
