Every week for the past few months, I've been given a 1280x720 MP4 file that I create captions for and then, using HandBrake, I burn in the captions for sharing on LinkedIn (they don't allow a separate upload of the captions).
Over the past two weeks, HandBrake has behaved differently by spitting out a 1280x362 MKV file.
I don't think this is a HandBrake issue, but I'd like to get some theories as to what the person creating the MP4 could be doing differently to make this happen as I haven't changed any of the settings (afaik). Unfortunately the 1280x362 file is not usable.
Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
1.4.1 (2021081500)
Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
