It took me a while, but searching the archives :-) I came across the
Image>Stacks>Reduce Size command that existed in ImageJ 1.42, but has
since been removed from the standard distribution :-(
I have re-installed it from
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/plugins/stack-reducer.html and it is
perfect for my purposes eg
run("AVI...", "select=D:\\temp\\vdub.avi first=1 last=500");
run("Reduce Size...", "reduction=10");
I can't see how to do that in standard v1.43 with ImageJ>Adjust Size
or ImageJ>Scale

BTW I found the archives at
http://n2.nabble.com/ImageJ-f588099.htmleasier to use than those at
