Hi all !

is there any way to order to reisze a mpeg file without encode again ?

Have you considered DVDShrink?

Not really, but you can trick the decoder into thinking the mpeg(2) has a different resolution than it really has. (This is sometimes used to make SVCD video DVD compliant without reencoding.)
Here's a tool for this.

PS! I see "resize" is somewhat ambigous: do you mean "change the file size" or "change the resolution" ? DS

[Dragonsf]

Yes, this must be used, if the source is SVCD.But the original poster didn't mention, what sort of mpeg it is.DOn't know, if DVDShrink works with mpeg-1 (different coding scheme).

Hi all again !

I have a mpeg1 file and I would like change the resolution. It is 352x240 and I need resize to 352x192 and add borders. This way I will have a 352x240 file. I maked a very good VCD with the original but it was stretch in high. So I resize and add borders in Virtualdub, re-encod with TMPEGenc and maked a VCD with VCDeasy, but the result was bad because the re-encode...

No can do without reencode, unfortunately. The mpeg was obviously made for stretching out on a 16:9 TV. Live with it, or forget it.
