I am looking for a program that can crop out the black bars on widescsreen avi files without having to re-encode them. I want to do this because a widescreen avi with black bars shows up as a fullscreen video, which distorts the aspect ratio when played on a widescreen TV. Does anyone know of a program that can do this?

So you have a widescreen AVI encoded as fullscreen with black bars? You would need to use the zoom function same as all the old widescreen 4:3 DVD's.

There is no way to crop without re-encoding.

Also if you crop off the Borders so you can Make it Full Screen then you will also have to Crop off a Bunch of Video on the Sides of the Image when resizeing to Full screen so you keep the Same Aspect ratio without distorting the Image By stretching or Squishing it as when Hollywood Films get formated for TV Viewing a good 30% of the Frame Gets Cropped Off Just so they can Make it Full screen....

hi i use AVI to mpeg converter to crop widescreen movies you can download from here it is a trial of 30 uses then you have to pay but i found if you just click the setup program again it reinstalls and you get 30 uses again and so on
http://www.flydragonsoft.com/avi-mpeg-converter.htm
it will convert AVI to mpeg1/2 faster then anything else i have seen.
it does however leave a watermark on the free trial but if your croping a movie you wont see it as it is at the top
