Mov file to mp4

Post by ArtVdeo »

Hi everyone!

Cant convert correct mov file to mp4. Source mov file is 768x1081 Storage, 768x1081 Display, but when i convert it to mp4 the result file is 768x1080 Storage, 702x1080 Display. I try some option like off anamorphic, or choice custom anamorphyc option but it did't help. Some one can tell where is one pixel missing? HandBrake 1.2.2 version Mac Os Sierra.

Our filters and encoders cannot handle odd video dimensions, so it gets scaled to 1080 pixels.

It might be feasible to auto-insert a 1-line pad and override the final product's crop-rect to odd dimensions with some encoders (but not all); however, it's both low priority and likely rather boring. Patches welcome :)

1081 is an illogical storage dimension. Most players will just add a garbage line. Pad or strip to the nearest even number. 1080 is the most logical.

That said, did you try simply renaming .MOV to .MP4? It works more often than not.
