Resize 1080p mkv to 720p mkv?

sarith · 2009-01-24, 21:21

Hey guys,

So I'm having some troubles playing back my 1080p mkv files (stutter, audio sync). My system just isn't powerful enough (especially without the ability to use hardware decoding on my 6800gt).

Anyway, my TV doesn't have native support for 1080p anyway - and my set up in XBMC resizes everything to 720p resolution anyway.

Basically I just want to resize my 1080p mkv files to 720p for easy playback in XBMC. I want to keep quality as high as possible and obviously do nothing to degrade my audio (which is 5.1 DTS on most of my videos -- plays back fine).

I'm running openSuSE, and am a complete linux newb. Any suggestions for some software I can download to do the conversion?

Thanks!

Handbrake kicks @ss at video conversion for windows and Mac, but the linux version was designed for ubuntu and probably doest even have a gui. Meencode likewise can encode/rescale video but doent have a gui. Linux unfortunately for you is mostly controlled via the terminal. Hopefully theres a linux guru somewhere that can help you man
