Here is the official explanation of the three resize methods.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bilinear: Tends to smooth the picture, but makes the video easier to encode. Appropriate for downsizing.<\/li>\n<li>Bicubic: Keeps sharpness and thus makes the video harder to encode (leads more easily to blocking-artifacts). Recommended for enlarging.<\/li>\n<li>Lanczos: Produces a very sharp picture and keeps a lot of details. Use it for HQ encodings at high bitrates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Click OK to close the Resize dialog and click Close to exit the Video Filter Manager dialog.<\/p>\n<p>Now, click on the Save button in the toolbar or File menu to save the output.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> In our test, the <strong>Bilinear<\/strong> method produced the output with lower file size, <strong>Bicubic<\/strong> a bit higher, and the <strong>Lanczos<\/strong> method the highest. The output file sizes are given below. You may be able to further reduce the output file size by changing the quality settings by clicking the Configure button under the Video Output section in the main screen.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10573\" src=\"https:\/\/www.winhelponline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/avidemux-resize-video-3.png\" alt=\"resize or change resolution of videos in windows - avidemux\" width=\"700\" height=\"223\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Of all the four methods, the smallest file size was achieved using FFmpeg.exe. However, as each software has different default (quality) settings, you should be able to adjust them in the respective software to get the optimal output file size as you require.
