So I've got some old captures I found in mpeg2 format. I'd like to preserve as much quality as possible, but wanted to crop/mask the overscan area and add to my Plex library. So... since I'm having to process them, I figured I'd deinterlace and resize via virtualdub and then transcode using vidcoder.

Question time: When resizing, would you change the 480x480 video to a resolution more readily acceptable for viewing on a pc? Or should I just leave it alone, and continue to scale in media player(s)?
