Resizing a video file - picture size

slipd · 27 Jan 2013 at 15:16

Hi guys,

Are there any free apps out there that would let me 're-size' about half a dozen video files (.avi, .mp4 etc) prior to them being burnt as dvd's?

I've been using freemake but that doesn't have the option for maintaining/changing the picture size of the finished dvd and I lose a lot of the video, including the watermark on some of the clips, which I would like to preserve.

Any ideas?

In free make u would have to change the res to the one you want before burning to DVD

When Converting before u pres the convert button were the preset is press the gear [ edit preset]
Now press on frame size and select the Res you want
After that press on Adjustment
Now if you want fullscreen press Stretch the video

If going to a higher res the video might not look great there are better programs for upscaling but there is no perfect one

Hope it helps

Thanks for the reply!

Which version of freemake are you using because I don't seem to be able to do what you've suggested? I'm on 3.2.1.3.

I can't find anywhere to alter the presets

Handbrake will let you shrink videos

Handbrake or if you want an x64 version that's slightly modified vidcoder.
