| 3438 | 177 |
| 178 <P>Often the need to resize movie images' size emerges. Its reasons can be many, | |
| 179 examples are decreasing output file size, encoding SVCDs to DivX. Ripped DVDs | |
| 180 are mostly rescaled, for example a 4:3 DVD should be 640x480, especially | |
| 181 when you want it to fit to 1 CD, and have good quality at the same time. | |
| 182 SVCDs have 480x480 size, and their header contains the aspect ratio the | |
| 183 player should use (Ex.: 480x480 + 4:3 = 640x480). However when encoding to | |
| 184 AVI (DivX) files, you have be aware that AVI headers don't store this | |
| 185 value. Thus, the only solution is rescaling.</P> | |
| 186 | |
| 5968 | 187 <P>The scaling process is handled by the <I>'scale'</I> video filter: |
| 188 <CODE>-vop scale=X:Y</CODE>. Its quality can be set with the | |
