Video Texture VideoFFmpeg: scale

scale
  • Activates the nearest scaling algorithm.

Type: 

  • boolean
  • True = activate the nearest scaling algorithm
  • False = don't activate the nearest scaling algorithm
Note:
  • Video Texture width and height should be a power of 2.
  • If the Video Texture is not a power of 2, the graphics pipeline automatically rescales the texture to a power of 2.
     
  • The graphics pipeline doesn't automatically use the nearest scaling algorithm.
Power of 2:
  • 2 x 2
  • 4 x 4
  • 8 x 8
  • 16 x 16
  • 32 x 32
  • 64 x 64
  • 128 x 128
  • 256 x 256
  • 512 x 512
  • etc.
  • And any combination.  128 x 512 is a power of 2.
Example:
  • A texture of 300 x 300 will be automatically rescaled by the graphics pipeline to 512 x 512.
  • A texture of 130 x 520 will be automatically rescaled by the graphics pipeline to 256 x 1024.
