I have an uncompressed .AVI file (RGB) that is 1920x1080 resolution. I would like to resize the video down to 720x480 while maintaining as much quality as possible. Is anyone aware of a program that will do this?
I realize the aspect ratios are different, but I am trying to get this to 720x480 before I encode it and eventually author it to DVD.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

I haven't been pleased with the results when I allow the encoder to resize the video. too I have tried many encoders and the results have all been similarly poor, so I was looking to try a different approach -- resize before encoding -- instead of resizing during encoding.
Any ideas? -
AviSynth:
Code:AviSource("filename.avi") BilinearResize(720, 480) #compresses better
Code:AviSource("filename.avi") LanczosResize(720, 480) #sharper
And LanczosResize():
Beyond that, encode 16:9 MPEG2 for DVD and be sure to use sufficient bitrate. -
Thank you, Jagabo I'll confess I have been avoiding AviSynth just because it looks a lot less user-friendly compared to a lot of the more popular, big name GUI programs, but I just tried the simple script you provided and it produced a better result than what I was getting using the encoder to resize.
I'm a convert! LOL.
