What size is acceptable when resizing video?
My final video is 720 x 480. But I read somewhere that if I resize the video to half it’s original size for web(for example, in Flash Video Encoder), that it should be resized to 320 x 240. That seems off to me since 720/2=360. So I thought the resized video would be 360 x 240.
Also, if I want to resize the video to somewhere between it’s original size and 1/2 size, what would the appropriate dimensions be? 480 x 320? 480 x 360? 540 x 360?

Chris,
By going to 320×240 you are correcting video’s .9 pixel aspect ratio to a computer’s square pixel aspect ratio.
You can use a starting size of 640×480 to figure your reduction.
If half size is figured 640 * 0.5 = 320 then if you wanted 2/3 of the full size it would be figured 640 * 0.66 = 422.4 I just round the decimal remainder and it seems to work.I’ll leave the vertical calculations to you.
