how to resize mpeg2 ?

[mckracken]

I dont want to change the bitrate at all. (or anything else for that matter)
What do i have to do to resize 528x576 to 480x576 ?

Ive tried flask, but the file always comes out bigger

Here is something you should try before resizing. Burn it on CD-RW and see if your DVD player can play it correctly. If it does, you don't have to resize it at all. If it doesn't, you can resize it. Somebody encoded this Mpeg-2 file with unusual resolutiuon, it must be played by some DVD player, right? Otherwise, what's the purpose?

Thats the whole point, my Pioneer 646a doesnt correctly display 528x576
(only 2/3 of the screen are filled, from left to right)

Or am i wrong and he can display this res. and im only too dumb to burn it correctly? Im asking because, because I have a TON of material (150 cdrs of Dvb streams) in that resolution and it really sickens me if i had to convert all this.

Either way, if I had to resize it, with what programm would you do it?
(pure resizing, without a ton of unwanted options)

Ok, someone encoded these files with weird resolution for reasons unknown. Looks like you have no choice but resize. I hope you are familiar with CCE and Avisynth. CCE is the fastest and best mpeg-2 encoder, while Avisynth is the fastest frame server. You can use Avisynth's bicubic resize filter, frameserving into CCE. If your system is fast, encoding time can be about RT. Flask is outdated and slow as snail, basically useless. All you need is know the bitrates of original files, I think you know how to do it.

The weirdo is MTV, Cartoon Network.... you name it. They use that res.

Im aware that your patience might run thin at one point, with so many people asking the same stuff over and over, but to get to the point, no
I have no idea how to frameserve.

Ill have to look into that issue, but if youve got some time, id ask you if you could explain it step by step (in a few words)

Think that would save me a boatload of researching.

If not, thanks for answering so far.
