Adding borders to xvid/divx without encoding

[trooper11]

I was wondering if there are any programs out there would allow me to add borders to an xvid or dvix video without doing any encoding?

The reason I need to do this is that the subs of these videos get cut off when played back on a tv through a divx capable dvd player. Id like to be able to just add the borders without any time consuming encoding. Thanks

you must reencode.

If you alter the picture, you must re-encode.

Besides, sounds like you want to SHRINK the picture as well, and that's a MAJOR modification.

ok what would be the easiest program to use to go from xvid to xvid and just adding borders?

I Use AVISynth with a little help from FitCD, reencode with QuEnc or TMPGEnc

QuEnc or TMPGEnc? Question was XviD to XviD.

You can encode the avs with VDub, avs2avi, etc. Then remux with your original audio. Could also zoom out on your player.

yeah i was hoping i could just zoom out, but unfortunately the player zooms out in too large jumps, the lowest is like 1/3rd smaller, which is too small.

Oops, you're right. I'm absolutely braindead in the past 24 hours. Must go to sleep... :P

[trooper11]

hmm well i havent done that before, how exactly do i create the avs file to use in vdub?

[kschang]

With any text editor, or with AVSEdit

FitCD as already suggested is also worth checking out.
