Resizing AVI For Use In CCE

[Martyn1980]

hi guys,
im a newbie to this forum and a newbie to CCE, but not Tmpeg.
My problem is i recently got CCE and was impressed how quick it encoded, but the aspect ratio and resolution was all wrong, so i found out it had to be resized using Tmpeg or virtual dub first, the problem is i have no idea how to do this and does it take long, would the resize time plus the encoding in CCE take longer than just doing it all in TMpeg

thanks to anyone who replies

To answer your question... No, it won't take longer. CCE is FAST.

What I'd suggest is that you read up on frameserving from VDub to CCE. It's pretty easy to do, provided you're using CCE 2.50.

For all of your resizing needs in VDub, check out this excellent smart resizer. What works best for me is setting it to fit a picture size of 448x448, letterboxing it out to 480x480, and setting the aspect ration to 3/4 (NOT 4/3---trust me on this, something's a little off with the filter, perhaps).

In short, what you want to do is frameserve your video to CCE. Read up on this---it's fast, easy and saves a LOT of HD space.

thanks a lot for replying i'll give it a try i've just downloaded the resizer, but im using CCE 2.62 is that a problem

In short, yes. CCE 2.62 doesn't support VDub frameserving.
