Resizing question (very stupid one)

andy

I know this is a stupid question but I looked around and couldn't find an answer:
I read several posts about resizing in Vdub, talking about bicubic, bilinear and so on. My problem is: I can't find the resize filters anywhere in Vdub (1.4.10), I looked trough forum and the web and probably this question isn't answered anywhere because no one was dum enough to ask it
I only find these resizing filters:
2:1 reduction
2:1 reduction (high quality)
and none of them is quot;configurablequot;

Thanks
Bruno

the resize filter is called quot;resizequot;  
it must be in the filters list because its an internal filter...

I downloaded Vdub again, reinstalled it and there it is. I can't remember where I got it before or maybe some file got corrupted  
Thanks for answering

What is the difference between those precise bicubic with different numbers, is is like soft, neutral and sharp bicubic?

Bruno

Try precise bilinear, that's what gets me the best results.

Wow, this forum doesn't get much traffic does it.

I seem to recall reading in one of the numerous Divx ecoding guides out there that the Precise Bicubic values equate to more like Neutral(0.60), Sharp(0.75), and Extra-Sharp(1.00), but as with just about everying DIVX, the best thing to do is try them out for yourself.

I don't see much diference in them (the bicubic ones), I will try precise bilinear in my next videos but I heard they're not very good when resizing up and sometimes I do that, when I get a VCD and want to resize it to 640x480. Thanks for your replies.

precise bilinear looks a little more quot;washed outquot; I think than all of VDubs bicubic filters (but only a little, it still looks good).
On the other hand, it is extremely good for the compression of your final video - so if you're using a low bitrate and get some artefacting, try precise bilinear and it will look better.
