Hello the_provider:
Yes, I realize that ViDrop is intended for portable devices and all that. It does a beautiful job. I don't like Gordian Knot; I use Virtualdub for serious work, but it is annoying that I have to go back and start it over to do the 2nd pass. ViDrop kindly does this for you, so it really speeds things up.
The resize filter I use in Virtualdub is Precise Bicubic, which is the only one that I use; any other gives artifacts. So all I want to do is tell Mencoder to use precise bicubic as well. It already occurred to me that I could add it to the command line, the same as I do for deinterlacing, if I knew the command to do so.
I have looked through the Mencoder docs and I don't see any way of specifying the resize algorithm. Maybe I missed it, but I really did look. Maybe it's called something else? Ok, I looked again and found it under "scale", which says also see -sws... it's pretty ambiguous to me; doesn't make much sense.
