Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

What do you mean by resize? Smaller video frame (eg 720x576 to 320x240) or a smaller file size (eg a 5 GB file to a 1GB file)? Do you have playback restrictions (eg DVD, Blu-ray, must be mkv with high@4.1 AVC, whatever)?

sorry video frame size to it come up to the tv size
its in 320240 and its a wide screen movie so there is huge black top and bottom
interlace and noise is a problem what's the best codes to use to gain a better picture
I know this sounds dumb but I must have hit some thing as now I can't get a monitor picture on the screen from the capture card
just white screen and the sound working at the bottom -
If the tape is PAL, go back and recapture at 720x576 25fps. If NTSC, then 720x480 at 29.97fps. What ever possessed you to cap at 320x240? Don't worry about upscaling to the television's resolution. It does its own upscaling.
To deal with the black bars, after the capture crop them away and resize to the correct aspect ratio. And after the recapture, provide a 10-second untouched sample so we can have a look. -
Agreed.
Cropping (cutting off the black letterbox from the video captured) generally retains the best video quality.
Resizing it (eg. 320x240 to 640x480 if done in an integer multiple (320x2 = 640 pixels) is the best option available.
A non-integer multiple means things won't resize up evenly per pixel, so you'll have more quality loss.
Capturing at the higher resolution of 640x480, 720x480, or similar (depending on your hardware) is FAR better since VHS tapes have much more info than 320x240.
...
Without doing a TON of post-processing, feed it through Handbrake to output to a 720x480 (or appropriate resolution for your needs) with crop.
This will give you an idea of the quality you can get with a 320x240 input, then you can decide if you need to recapture at a higher resolution for better quality.
Otherwise, tons of programs out there that can resize - any video editing program from free Blackmagic Davinci or Avid Media Composer First to Adobe Premiere, Vegas Video, etc.
While these are based on older mathematical resizing algorithms that have been in use for decades, the latest are AI image / video resizers which can re-generate image detail that isn't in the original from AI calculations.

(Pulling out each from isn't hard with virtualdub, etc to feed such programs.)

Wrong. Mask, not crop.

I would love to retry and do this again but somehow I made mess of the program and these is no monitor picture in capture
it simply won't come up the sounds there's the ntsc is correct this applies to both video and svideo inputs
I don't have the foggiest what I did but that applies to the normal program 64 and the mpeg version just installed
