| 88 | 89 examples are decreasing output file size, encoding SVCDs to DivX. Ripped DVDs |
| 89 <P><B><I>Available options</I></B></P> | 90 are mostly rescaled, for example a 4:3 DVD should be 640x480, especially |
| 91 when you want it to fit to 1 CD, and have good quality at the same time. | |
| 92 SVCDs have 480x480 size, and their header contains the aspect ratio the | |
| 93 player should use (Ex.: 480x480 + 4:3 = 640x480). However when encoding to | |
| 94 AVI (DivX) files, you have be aware that AVI headers don't store this | |
| 95 value. Thus, the only solution is rescaling.</P> | |
| 96 | |
| 97 <P>The output size is specified with the <CODE>-x</CODE>, and <CODE>-y</CODE> | |
| 98 options. Furthermore, there are 3 rescaling filters in <B>MEncoder</B>, <I>0 | |
| 99 : fast 1 : bilinear</I>, <I>2 : bilinear</I>, <I>bicubic</I> (best quality). | |
| 100 They can be specified with the <CODE>-sws</CODE> option. If not specified, | |
| 101 <B>MEncoder</B> will use 0 : fast bilinear.</P> | |
