You can't have it both ways ;) Either you have a standard frame size with black borders _or_ you use a non-standard ("special") frame size and no black borders - there really are no other choices. > As regards to not deinterlacing the video, are you sure that's the best I think it is not a good idea simply because it is a 1 way conversion (it can not be exactly reversed if you change your mind). The other reason is that eventually the data might end up on a DVD or viewed on a regular TV which is an interlaced display. > solution? Those videos will be loaded in Cinelerra. Then, the output > format is Quicktime, which I transcode to .raw and encode with mencoder. Then why bother encoding to MPEG-2 in the first place? It would be better to use the input MJPEG .avi file in Cinelerra from the very beginning. After all that trans/recoding it won't make any difference if the data is deinterlaced or not ;( Is there a reason you haven't used the MJPEG file with Cinelerra in the first place? I'm fairly certain that Cin* knows how to deal with MJPEG files. > The final output is intended to be distributed to my friends over the > internet. They're using Window$, Mac and Linux...

If MPEG-2 is not going to be the distribution format then it is a waste of time (I think) to first encode to MPEG-2, then import into another program which will decode the MPEG-2 , export to another format, and then have mencoder do an encoding to MPEG-4/divx/whatever.
