Resizing AVIs?

[Trik]

How do you take a 640x480 avi and resize it as say 320x240 avi?
Not convert it to mpeg.

I checked the guides and didn't see anything about how to do that

you can use any video editor. Personaly I prefer Avisynth.

AVISource("d:\dir\file.avi")
BilinearResize(320,240)

or

AVISource("d:\dir\file.avi")
ReduceBy2

Save the script as *.avs and open it in VirtualDub or simply open the avi in VD and use its own filters. Then save *.avi.

Hmm, I did a google search for Avisynth and found a zip that consists of a couple dll's and a couple reg files.
Aparantly it requires Adobe premier... or some other program to work

No,

Avisynth is a scripting language and a collection of filters for simple non-linear editing tasks. Avisynth is unusual in that it does not generate output files. Instead, Avisynth scripts, which have the extension .AVS, can be opened directly in applications which read AVI files. When an AVS file is opened, Avisynth runs in the background, generating video and audio data according to the script and feeding it to the application as needed.

Yes, the avisynth.dll and the reg files are all what you need.
However, you can skip the Avisynth part and do all editing tasks with VirtualDub.

Thanks man.

I take it that VDub can't resize without a script?
