Looking for help to convert my 1280x720 amv to 720x480

Postby AnimeSpiritZ » Sun Jul 26, 2009 2:48 pm

I'm trying to find out what the best way to resize my video from 1280x720 to 720x480 is without any strange resizing visuals. The file is encoded in avi with Huffyuv-YV12. I'm trying to convert it to a MPEG-2 file.

put it in Virtuadub and re-encode it using the resize filter.

this might help, considering that you need to convert to MPEG-2.

I was actually following that guide for a few hours now, and I just got it right earlier. But I also tried the Virtualdub thing, and the resulting avi file was great. Everytime I tried to Export the video in Premiere CS4 with FFDShow Huffyuv-YV-12 to 720x480, it resulted in a letterboxed video, which was worse when I converted this video to MPEG-2. The resulting MPEG-2 video had two black lines similair to a letterbox on the top and bottom of the video. I'm not sure if this is normal, but it was a bit weird to me.
The virtualdub resizing didnt result in any letterboxing, so i'm assuming that if I converted this file into a MPEG-2 file, the problem i've been having earlier wont show up.

You aren't supposed to export as 720x480 from Premiere, you should only be exporting at the same settings of the project - in this case 1280x720. :P
The guide tells you to resize to 720x480 in avisynth. ;)

Downloading some convertiong sorftwares such as Total video converter and any video converter (the basic version is free) will solve that problem for you.

Using a converting program to resize isn't the best way to go about it (especially if you're concerned about quality)

Avisynth ftw
