Here is a question for Lokster (or anybody else who can fix the trouble). I think viDrop is the best thing since movies were invented, I use it for everything.
But, I've noticed that when I play a movie on my 32 inch HD television, the diagonal lines are jagged instead of smooth, indicating that the resize algorithm is too crude.
Can a future version add an option to specify the scaling quality? Is there a way to bypass the resizing for now, and specify it yourself on the command line?
I know viDrop is meant for portable devices where this kind of artifact wouldn't be visible, but there's no reason not to use it for everything, is there?
Edit: After upgrading to v.57.2 some things don't work the same anymore. I want to go back to 56 but this isn't so simple. I added the Windows Essentials codec pack which allows for decoding of more functions, so now I can't tell which files are ok to delete.
Another really necessary thing that is missing is deinterlacing. I can do this myself by adding -vf yadif=1 to the mplayer command line but I don't know if this is doing the best job or not.
