184 <P><B><A NAME="rescaling">2.4.3.2 Rescaling movies</A></B></P> |
| 3438 | 185 |
| 186 <P>Often the need to resize movie images' size emerges. Its reasons can be many, | |
| 187 examples are decreasing output file size, encoding SVCDs to DivX. Ripped DVDs | |
| 188 are mostly rescaled, for example a 4:3 DVD should be 640x480, especially | |
| 189 when you want it to fit to 1 CD, and have good quality at the same time. | |
| 190 SVCDs have 480x480 size, and their header contains the aspect ratio the | |
| 191 player should use (Ex.: 480x480 + 4:3 = 640x480). However when encoding to | |
| 192 AVI (DivX) files, you have be aware that AVI headers don't store this | |
| 193 value. Thus, the only solution is rescaling.</P> | |
| 194 | |
| 5968 | 195 <P>The scaling process is handled by the <I>'scale'</I> video filter: |
| 196 <CODE>-vop scale=X:Y</CODE>. Its quality can be set with the | |
