I have a Philips DVP642, which I use to watch burned anime. Like most people I experienced that my machine was cutting off the top and the bottom making the subtitles hard to read. To fix this problem I downloaded VirtualDub Mod. I opened my file, set the size to 680 (width) and 440 (height). Then I clicked save as and it began to resize my file. While resizing I noticed the new file would be humongous. The projected value was close to 30 Gigabytes (for one single 175 megabyte file). I know I have to re-encode this with Xvid when I am done, but I dont have space for a 30 Gigabyte file. Is there another way to do this?

thank you

If you don't select a compressor then it saves out raw RGB, which as well as being huge the player wouldn't play back anyway.

I really don't see how resizing would help though. If your TV's overscan (it is your TV not the player at fault) cuts off 4% then it is still going to cut off 4%. You need to pad the video with black borders.
