OK, I am getting very frustrated.

I have quite a bit of MPEG-2 video that I would like to recompress to H(X)264 or XVID/MP3 and have tried Auto Gordian Knot, VideoFAB, VirtualDub, etc. and everything wants to change the resolution. This is simple 720X480 29.97 and 640x480 30FPS NTSC MPEG video from my ReplayTV or DV camera. I want it to stay 720X480, 640X480 and no amount of button squishing appears to convince these tools to leave it the F alone. I also tried my DVD authoring software, but it has other issues or lack of support for those Codecs.

GSpot correctly identifies the streams and resolutions, so I am pretty sure it is not the source material or media tags... Heck, they play in any number of players which also correctly identify resolution and frame rates. Arghhhhh.

Anybody have a good and preferably free solution to recoding this video?
