Both freeware
When it comes to sizing rule of thumb I reduce height to whatever it takes to remove black bands from top and bottom, divide the resulting height by 3 then multiply that by four to give me the width (eg: 200Wx150H) this gives me a 4:3 aspect ratio. I also up the volume setting between 30 to 40 % which gives better sound in finished product.
Encoding with AMV Converter I use 128x96 for size Frame Rate and Image quality high and Focus mode0 will centre the image perfectly.
Although 128x128 may give you a full screen picture, because it is square the small amount you gain in height will be lost in width as too much gets cropped off the sides.
Hope this helps
