You can use something like MediaInfo or GSpot to get more info about the file. But with the fast converters available for free these days if the running time is 2 hours or less it might just be simpler to make a DVD Video out of it. FAVC, d2mp, DVD Flick. If you're determined to keep it .avi you might try AviDemux 2.4 or Virtualdub. See the filters. Usually LanczosResize does a good good. If the video is sharp to start with you might try BicubicResize. Lanczos tends to come out sharper while Bicubic tends to produce a bit softer or fuzzier effect. Which looks best depends on the input. If you use an automatic avi=>dvd converter like DVD Flick then you don't have to mess with aspect ratio or any of that. About all you need to do is make sure it's set correctly to NTSC or PAL.
