mpegplayer resizing?
« on: November 21, 2007, 03:30:27 PM »
is there a way to have mpegplayer resize the video so it all fits on my ipod nano's screen? right now only a small portion of the video shows up, and the rest is out of view

Convert the video to the appropriate size in advance.

You'll probably want to know, so here's why mpegplayer can't resize videos.

Scaling a video is very hard on the CPU, much harder than decoding. So if you can scale it beforehand, it would be the natural solution to the problem.
