Scale while transcoding?

The "commands" link the article hits close to home for me.

I need to take screen capture videos from projector screen size (AVI 1024x768) down to something that will work on a standard def DVD (h.264 640x480??).

If it were a photo, I would scale it with gimp and get some nice interpolation so that the picture doesn't go blurry.

Will either of these programs help me get my lecture video captures into a television sized format so that I can drop it into a video editor for voice-over?

In the past I tried pointing a video camera at the projection screen and the end result didn't look too good. I'm hoping capturing it at the source (in the computer) will yield better results.
