| 4397 | 96 <P><U><B>2-pass encoding :</B></U> the name comes from the fact that this method encodes the file <I>twice</I>. |
| 3620 | 97 The first encoding (dubbed <I>pass</I>) creates some temporary files (*.log) with a |
| 98 size of few megabytes, do not delete them yet (you can delete the AVI). In the second pass, the | |
| 99 2-pass output file is created, using the bitrate data from the temporary files. The resulting | |
| 3027 | 100 file will have much better image quality. If this is the first time you heard |
| 101 about this, you should consult some guides available on the Net.</P> | |

| 3438 | 189 |
| 190 <P>Often the need to resize movie images' size emerges. Its reasons can be many, | |
| 191 examples are decreasing output file size, encoding SVCDs to DivX. Ripped DVDs | |
| 192 are mostly rescaled, for example a 4:3 DVD should be 640x480, especially | |
| 193 when you want it to fit to 1 CD, and have good quality at the same time. | |
| 194 SVCDs have 480x480 size, and their header contains the aspect ratio the | |
| 195 player should use (Ex.: 480x480 + 4:3 = 640x480). However when encoding to | |
| 196 AVI (DivX) files, you have be aware that AVI headers don't store this | |
| 197 value. Thus, the only solution is rescaling.</P> | |
| 198 | |
| 5968 | 199 <P>The scaling process is handled by the <I>'scale'</I> video filter: |
| 200 <CODE>-vop scale=X:Y</CODE>. Its quality can be set with the | |
| 201 <CODE>-sws</CODE> option. If it's not specified, <B>MEncoder</B> will use 0 : | |
| 202 fast bilinear.</P> | |
