[MPlayer-users] just wanted to scale my video but doesn't work?

[Mikolaj Feliks]

 Hi all,

  how do I scale/resize a mkv file using mencoder? I tried:

mencoder hd1080.mkv -oac copy -ovc copy -vf scale=1280:720 -o hd720.mkv

 but it didn't work for me. The resulting mkv is just the same size.

 I do not need to change quality, codec and whatsoever. Simply want to
make it smaller, since my laptop is dying with full hd :)


 Thanks in advance,
