Resizeing without use of any codec

[ChrioN]

I have a divx-movie that is about 1,3 gb, can i change the resolution without using the divx-codec again? i want it to fit a 700mb cd you know...

If you want to reduce the filesize that much you will have to recompress the video and for that you will need the codec. Better use VirtualDub to cut the file in half and burn it to 2 CDs.

Also, remove the end credits if possible.

Before you do anything drastic, I'd ask you what is the format of the audiostream? If it's, by chance, Uncompressed PCM (WAV) 48,000Hz, you can reduce the filesize SUBSTANTIALLY by compressing the audiostream (e.g. MP3 at 44,100Hz 128Kbps)...

Audio possible

That is about the size of my average high-quality rip with uncompressed audio (before I normalize and recombine in VirtualDub -- thanks to those here who got me onto that process).

[ChrioN]

I allways compress the audio in virtuadub.
But the movie is too big anyway...

Try to use BeSweet to convert your ac3 sound to Mp3. You'll get a good quality with a relativitly small size.
