How can I convert a video to a lower resolution?

Version: CS3
Like the title says...
I have a rather large video that I want to scale down,,, a lot.
I basically have a video that's 5040x1050 that I recorded with Fraps (I have trip2go which is why the large res). I want to convert this video to the respected ratio of 550x115 for a banner video in FLASH.
Please don't mention 100 other ways I should be doing this or other programs, the question above is the question I need the answer to because I have other projects as well where I want to simply drop the resolution from 1920x1080 to lower and can't... Besides for what is suppose to be one of the elite video editors on the market there surely doesn't seem to be any obvious ways to do what should be pretty basic and expected in a video program of any sort.
Thanks,
~Dan

Dan,
I agree with Stanley. There are also several rather long, older threads, on using FRAPS footage. I would do a Search of this forum for "FRAPS," as there might be some useful tips in those. One used to have some great flight-sim images, but those are now gone. Still, the discussion is there.
Good luck,
Hunt

How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that it can be played and streamed from my Mac?

How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that I can play the content on my Mac and also stream it to my Apple TV? A few years ago, I transferred all of my home videos onto DVD but now would really like to put these onto my Mac and stream them through Apple TV to watch on the "big screen". Any advice would be most welcome!! Thanks

MPEG Streamclip.
Apple do not have their "own" format. You need to convert your DVDs to H.264 though.

How can I convert Itunes video albums tracks to ipod tracks

How can I convert Itunes video albums tracks to ipod tracks?

3pg is an odd format... That or I just never seen it before. :P
iTunes just ***** at converting videos. So far all videos I tried converting with iTunes have resulted in the same error you got.
You're better-off using 3rd party apps, and then copying to iTunes, and then copying to the iPod.
Unfortunately I don't know of any conversion programs for Windows.
If you by chance have a mac, this program works great: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/flv2itunes.html
The mac version of Handbrake below works great, hopefully the Windows version does, too:

When converting with handbrake, make sure to use the iPod preset for the out-put video.
Hope this helps a little.

How can I convert Music Videos or Movies to play in iTunes ?

I am running Windows 7 Professional and I have alot of Music Videos and Movies that I am wanting to play in the new iTunes ( 11.1.5.5 ). I am trying to find a good Program that can convert alot of these so I can import then into iTunes . I do not have Quick Time installed on my computer , to see if they will play on Quick Time. I play most of them with the VLC Player . My computer just will not give me the option of playing most of them with iTunes , so I realize that most of them are not compatible with iTunes .

Here's one way:

How can I convert a video to a playable format?

This is a combined iTunes / iPod touch question.
I downloaded a video to iTunes. It is in 3pg format and it and plays perfectly in iTunes. However, when I tried to sync it into the iPod touch, it stopped with the error message that the touch could not play that type of file. So I used the "Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone" selection in iTunes and converted it to m4p format. Although this was able to load into the touch, it is corrupted to the point of being impossible to view or listen to. By corrupted, I mean that it "stutters" at a rapid rate. How else might I load the 3pg file into the touch, or how else could I convert it into something that is listenable?

How can I Convert HD video to SD DVD

Final cut Studio is a new tool for me. I've make a 3 minutes video montage in HD 720p and when I try to downconvert in SD M2V, the footage look very bad with a lot of aliasing and pixelisation. I've try many setup with the best quality in Compressor and nothing seem to work. The shooting was make with a Sony XDCAM EX1 in 720p 30fps and 60 fps. The only way I've found for downconvert with good quality is in Quicktime Mp4 or H264. I've another problem with the quality of my shooting: When a subject have a lateral displacement in front of my camera, image is not smooth, it's like a stroboscope. I've setup my timeline in 720 30p. When I playback direct from my camera in the monitor it's OK.
What's wrong ????
Merci beaucoup!

Try this:
Go to iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Movies
Uncheck the little box in the lower right corner that says Download HD When Available
Click the cloud download symbol to download the SD version of an item you want.

I recored a video with my ipad, downloaded it to my mac but I cant upload it to Youtube because the format IMG is not a video format. How can I convert it?

How can I convert a video I took with my ipad on the format IMG to a supported format for Youtube?

To upload videos to YouTube we have to make sure videos are in a format that YouTube accepts. Here’s the list of some well-known video formats which YouTube supports:
WebM files (Vp8 video codec and Vorbis Audio codec)
MPEG4, 3GPP and MOV files – (typically supporting h264 and mpeg4 video codecs and AAC audio codec)
AVI (Many cameras output this format – typically the video codec is MJPEG and audio is PCM)
MPEGPS (Typically supporting MPEG2 video codec and MP2 audio)
WMV)
FLV (Adobe – FLV1 video codec, MP3 audio)
But I think you get the wrong video file. iPad recorded video files are in m4v, mp4, mov, avi format but not the img files. Anyway, if you need a video converter, Format factory or iFunia video converter are good choice.
Good luck!

Turns out the answer to that question changes if you ask it more than 4 times, so ask it again....
The answer depends on the type of video files you want to convert. If they are DRM protected commercial videos, no help can be given here. Google.

How can I flip my iphone videos on my PC? My videos from my iphone are horrible when I transfer them to my PC. How can I improve the video on my PC? Can I just convert the files to WMV? When the video plays the speed is off, it's half slow-motion

My videos from my iphone are horrible when I transfer them to my PC. How can I improve the video on my PC? Can I just convert the files to WMV? When the video plays the speed is off, it's half slow-motion and staggers into normal play. The clips are slightly cut as well, the clips do not roll continuously. I'm taling about videos that are no more than 2 minutes long. I'm frustrated and I could really use some advice-my kids basketball games is what I'm recording and I'm trying to send them to my family (they are not very tech savvy). Thanks

Not it's only function but one for which it was most admirably suited, which is why I really hope someone can find a work around. I am hoping my post to the Apple feedback may prompt a useful response from Apple and I live in hope that my post here will elicit a useful response from another user. I did not miss the the text at the top of the feedback form but you presumably missed my initial text, 'someone here can explain' or my subsequent 'work around from another user'
Just in case anyone reading this has a large collection of music videos, video podcasts or iTunes U then DO NOT upgrade your iPad to iOS 5. If you are considering purchasing the iPad as a useful mobile device to experience these media organised in your iTunes please don't as you will be wasting your money. (unless someone on this forum knows of a way to undo the mess created by those infallible folks at Apple)
Yes I know it does other things but the purpose I bought it for doesn't work anymore

How can I convert video with srt subtitles?

If I have an avi plus an .srt subtitles file, how can I convert this to play on the iPad?
If, on my iMac, I use Quicktime, I can save the avi as .mov with hard subs. But when I convert this .mov to mp4, the subtitles disappear.

Why go to all the trouble of converting? Why not just download an app that can play .avi files with subtitle support?

How can I delete the video and keep the Audio in a few frames using Imovie 11

How can I delete the video and keep the Audio in a few frames using Imovie 11?

I've met the problem too before. but i solved it with Audio Converter Mac instead of iMovie. If you have similar situation that just want to keep audio but not video, and if your file format is not workable in iMovie, you can use the Audio Converter for help too. it can easily help to extract audio soundtrack from any video format. Or if you need to convert one audio format to another, it is a good choice too, because it supports many common audio output formats.
