any good software for this?

[aruwin]

I think I've asked this before but anyways,is there any software that can change the resolution or size of a video?I desperately need one cuz otherwise,the video wont fit the tv screen.THANK YOU.

Loads of software to do this. Now, what is your specific problem ?

Are you trying to make badly subbed anime appear on your screen so you can see the subtitles ?

Are you trying to butcher widescreen material to fill the screen ?

Are you creating DVDs ?

If you are creating DVDs and need to make the image smaller to fit inside the overscan area of your TV, try FAVC. It has an overscan settings that takes care of this for you. It is also free, and very good quality. Use HCEnc to encode. It can also do VCD and SVCD encoding if you are living in the past.

If you want to butcher widescreen movies to fill your screen, do a search, because I can't help you with that one.

FAVC is the simplest way to automate the process. Otherwise it is a manual process involving virtualdub or avisynth.

Can u tell me how to do so with virtualdubmod?

Use the resize filter to resize the image to be smaller, then add letterbox borders all around to bring the image back to DVD spec (assuming you want to encode for DVD). Frameserve this to your mpeg2 encoder, then author.

When you add the resize filter you will see it has two sections. At the top you will have to resize the image only. The bottom section adds the borders back. The bottom size should be 720 x 480 for NTSC and 720 x 576 for PAL. How much you resize the image depends on your TV, as the overscan area is not the same on every TV.

Thank u so much for the useful information.I've tried using vdubmod but the output file gets TOO BIG(up to 5 GB!!).And when I choose an encoder to not make it that big,the video loses its quality.Do u know how to maintain the quality?Anmd what do u mean by Frameserve this to your mpeg2 encoder, then author?How to do it?

Another question,how to use avisynth?Just in case if I dont get to use vdubmod.

[MOVIEGEEK]

TMPGEnc can do this and encode to MPEG-2.
Settings->Advanced->Clip Frame

See this guide for frameserving

Any re-encode will degrade the quality. You might be able to lessen the effect by using filters in virtualdub and using a high bitrate in your encoder but don't expect miracles.

There's a lot of error while encoding using vdubmod and i give up.I think I'll try using avisynth.So can any1 tell me how to change the resolution using avisynth?Or is there any other software?

LanczosResize(width, height)
AddBorders(left, top, right, bottom)

Try using FitCD to get the sizes and generate a script.
