Disable autocrop

[BTJustice]

How can I disable autocrop? I am using HandBrakeCLI.exe to convert .MPG recording from GB-PVR to XviD files.

Here is the code in my batch file I am using...

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\HandBrake\HandBrakeCLI.exe" -i %1 -o "%~dp1%~n1.avi" --format avi --encoder xvid --two-pass --aencoder lame --ab 128 --crop 0:0:0:0 --decomb
IF EXIST "%~dp1%~n1.avi" DEL %1
EXIT

Here is what I see when I run the batch file...

Code: Select all

E:\>"C:\Program Files\HandBrake\HandBrakeCLI.exe" -i "E:\Vietnam The 10,000 Day
War_20090704_05300600.mpg" -o "E:\Vietnam The 10,000 Day War_20090704_05300600.a
vi" --format avi --encoder xvid --two-pass --aencoder lame --ab 128 --crop 0:0:0

autocrop runs regardless it seems. How can I disable it?

According to the CLI Guide you add --crop 0:0:0:0 to your command line.

[BTJustice]

As you can see by my code, it is already there. autocrop runs regardless for whatever reason.

What are you even talking about? What code? All you've given us is a non-verbose log and a shell command. What is anyone supposed to be seeing here when you're not giving us anything but scan data? You've chosen not to include the -v option that would tell you anything about the actual encode, so I don't know how you're reaching this conclusion.

[BTJustice]

The first post has two code entries. The first of which has --crop 0:0:0:0 so what are YOU talking about.

[BTJustice]

Oh, and as you can see by the second code in the first post, autocrop is activated even though I explicitly told it not to by using --crop 0:0:0:0 in the first code.

Your log does not show that. It only shows values that could be used, not if It was used.

You need post a verbose log.

Code: Select all

[17:15:01] scan: 10 previews, 720x480, 29.970 fps, autocrop = 0/0/10/22, aspect

Here you can see the values HandBrake determined when scanning the title…

Code: Select all

[17:15:01]    + dimensions: 720 * 480 -> 608 * 464, crop 0/0/0/0

…and the actual values used for the encode (0/0/0/0)

[BTJustice]

If I have autocrop disabled with 0:0:0:0 then why is HandBrakeCLI changing the dimensions? Am I missing something?

[jbrjake]

...because your source is anamorphic and you're not instructing HandBrake to encode anamorphically...
