Video re-sizing Avi-synth, VdubMod or TMPGenc?

Yes, indeed, frameserving is a nice thing. I use VirtualDubMod for everything and get the best quality possible. The only exeption are Quicktime movies. I could't find a way to frameserve them.

Why not just open the AVI in TMPGEnc in the first place and resize from there? Is frameserving exceptionally faster? I found TMPGEnc Xpress pretty fast when just making MPG's for DVD as long as you keep the filters to a minimum...

If you open it direcly in TMPGEnc you`ll get the divx splash logo on every encoding, also I think the diplay settings you use to veix divx`s on the computer will be passed onto the mpeg2 encoding (brightness contrast etc), as I see it frameseving with vdubmod give a clean source to tmpgenc, could be wrong tough? Haven`t tried the resizing in vdubmod yet, doesn`t seem to make any difference at all speed wise just doing a straight frameserve.

You could always remove the divx codec and use xvid, there won't be a display logo then, and it will be as good a quality image. Is there not a setting in the divx setup to turn off the display logo?

yes there is:)
