What I can think is to re-encode the file using Avisynth or VirtualDubMod. I prefer to use VirtualDubMod. Avisynth is script frameserving.

The basic idea is import that AVI into VirtualDubMod, select the resize filter (e.g. bicubic), save as AVI.

So much for the "basic" huh ...I'm now at my workplace.

Meanwhile, if others have idea can share. IIRC, I post simple guide at Audio/Video format CONVERSIONS. Let me check whether I can find it.

Update :

I found guide here re-encode AVI for home DixV player. Only missing part is applying filter for resize (Video >> Filter). This can only selected if "Full Processing Mode" is selected. Note : VirtualDub & VirtualDubMod is same. The latter one is "modded" version.

How to resize AVI using VDubMod, DixV or XviD (short version guide) :

Tools you need :

• VirtualDubMod
• DivX or XviD (you may already install using codec packs. Not working if ffdshow installed)
• LAME ACM MP3 codec (to encode audio into mp3 if required)
• GSpot (obtain info like bitrate, 4CC etc)

1. Launch VirtualDubMod.
2. File >> Open video file. The file is loaded.
3. Select Video >> Full processing mode.
4. Select Video >> Filters (a dialog box pop-up). Click Add. Scroll down to resize, double click it. Put the width and height here. Select Bicubic under filter mode. Click OK. Back to main program.
5. Select Video >> Compression. This is the available codec in your system. This is why DivX or XviD need to be installed. If using DivX :
   • Highlight DivX codec, click configure. At rate control, select 1-pass & enter bitrate (this info obtained using GSpot). You should enter the bitrate of original file. In this case using I'm DivX 6.2. At Codec & Video tab, leave it as default. Click OK.
6. If the video already encoded using mp3 or other codec, you don't need to do anything. Leave it like that. You can check by :
   • Click Streams >> Stream List (I assume it's already in mp3). You can also check using GSpot.
7. Click File >> Save as. Put the name of the file & click OK.
8. You'll see the screen "dub in progress". You also can check the time remaining from the screen.

Well, the above guided didn't include other thing like bitrate calculation. I assume no error coming out. For details, I'll write a guide with screenshot.

Filters work on Full Processing Mode only. Unless, you don't want to use filter. It will be grey out.
