Hi there

I was wondering if there is a way to not autocrop. I am using the following command line:

/usr/bin/HandBrakeCLI --longest --markers --encoder x264 --x264opts ref=2:bframes=2:me=umh:b-pyramid=1:weightb=1 --two-pass --turbo --quality 0.7 --aencoder ac3 --crop 0:0:0:0 --pixelratio --input "$1" --output "$2"

However, as soon as it starts, I get the following output:

Code: Select all

Scanning title 1 of 1...
Searching for longest title...
...
  + size: 720x480, aspect: 1.33, 29.970 fps
  + autocrop: 0/0/6/4
  + chapters:
...

I really want the destination to be the same as the source, in the GUI it is easy to turn this off, but I cannot see how to do this on the command line, ideas?

Um, it's just telling you what the autocrop detected as it scanned the source. Had you provided a complete log instead of taking one snippet out of context, this would be clearly visible when the job starts and work settings are displayed.

That snipit was actually the only reference that I saw towards cropping - hence I only included it. But thank you for the clarification.

Therefore, do I need the --crop 0:0:0:0 parameter, or is this just not needed?

To prevent autocrop the solution is to add the following in the command line.

Code: Select all

--crop 0:0:0:0

Thanks guys, I'll continue to add that, to not perform autocrop.
