<H3><A NAME="rescaling">2.4.2 Rescaling movies</A></H3>
<P>Often the need to resize movie images' size emerges. Its reasons can be many,
examples are decreasing output file size, encoding SVCDs to DivX. Ripped DVDs
are mostly rescaled, for example a 4:3 DVD should be 640x480, especially
when you want it to fit to 1 CD, and have good quality at the same time.
SVCDs have 480x480 size, and their header contains the aspect ratio the
player should use (Ex.: 480x480 + 4:3 = 640x480). However when encoding to
AVI (DivX) files, you have be aware that AVI headers don't store this
value. Thus, the only solution is rescaling.</P>
<P>Often the need to resize movie images' size emerges. Its reasons can be

<H3><A NAME="aspect">2.4.8 Preserving aspect ratio</A></H3>
<P>DVDs and SVCDs (i.e. MPEG1/2) files contain an aspect ratio value,
which describes how should the player scale the video stream, so humans
won't have egg heads (ex.: 480x480 + 4:3 = 640x480). However when encoding
to AVI (DivX) files, you have be aware that AVI headers don't store this
value. Rescaling the movie is disgusting and time consuming, there
must be a better feature!</P>
<P>There is.</P>
<P>MPEG4 has an unique feature: the video stream can contain
its needed aspect ratio. Yes, just like MPEG1/2 files (DVD, SVCD).
Regretfully, there are <U>no</U> video players outside which support this
attribute. Except MPlayer.</P>
<P>This feature can be used only with <B>libavcodec</B>'s <CODE>mpeg4</CODE>
codec. Keep in mind: although MPlayer will correctly play the created file,
other players will use the wrong aspect ratio.</P>
<P>You seriously should crop the black bands over and below the movie image.
See TODO.</P>

be used if you have a fixed frequency sound card or if you are
stuck with an old sound card that is only capable of max 44.1kHz.

the sample frequency explicitly. This plugin has one switch:
