-====== Video filter Resize ====== 
- 
-===== Resize vs MPlayer resize ​ ===== 
- 
-//Resize// is a YV12 port of Avisynth resize filter. 
- 
-//MPlayer resize// is a port of Michael Niedermayer resize filter, which is used in MPlayer. 
- 
-Avisynth resize is slightly more accurate, but MPlayer resize is 3x(nbsp)faster without any perceptible difference. 
- 
-The filter dialog config box is the same for both filters. You can direcly enter the new width/​height and the resize algorithm or use the slider and the menu. 
- 
-In case you enter the values manually, press OK, not Apply, as pressing Apply recomputes the value from the slider position. 
- 
-===== Resize function ===== 
- 
-Three resize methods are proposed: 
- 
-  * **Bilinear:​** Tends to smooth the picture, but makes the video //easier// to encode. Appropriate for downsizing. 
-  * **Bicubic:​** Keeps sharpness and thus makes the video //harder// to encode (leads more easily to blocking-artifacts). Recommended for enlarging. 
-  * **Lanczos:​** Produces a very sharp picture and keeps a lot of details. Use it for HQ encodings at high bitrates. 
- 
-Remember: Sharp pictures look nice in preview, but they can cause problems when the video is encoded (especially at low bitrates). So don't rely on the preview only. Encode a short sample and check the encoded video! 
- 
-===== Aspect ratio ===== 
- 
-The aspect ratio is very important for proper resizing. If the source is MPEG-1/2, you can be almost sure that the source aspect ratio is 4:3 or 16:9. AVI files are most commonly 1:1. 
- 
-So to resize properly a widescreen DVD for example to MPEG-4 AVI (e.g. encoded with XviD), select 16:9 for source and 1:1 for destination. 
- 
-The framerate is also important. 4:3 MPEG has non square pixels, different for PAL and NTSC. So if you resize before altering the framerate you will end up with a differently sized image. 
-  * What is the link between framerate and non-square pixels? This explanation needs more info! 
- 
-The //16 round up// checkbox, when checked, will round up the resize value to the closest multiple of 16.
