Upscaling 1916 x 1076 to 1920 to 1080
Hey, i been trying to find the information online about this with the only solutions stating "theres no increase in quality", or just learn CLI
is there literally no way to stretch the video to round the resolution up to standard resolutions?
for the CLI, i found
-w, --width <number> Set storage width in pixels
-l, --height <number> Set storage height in pixels
is this not something i could use in the GUI version of the program advanced options command input? or would i have to learn CLI from the ground up and recreate all the presets etc

At this time, the GUI does not have any provisions for upscaling. The reasons for that are probably detailed in what you've read so far.
Also, your proposed upscale will do almost nothing, other than cause some pixels to be smeared a bit. There is a "pad" filter (I think it's only available in the CLI) to add letterboxing around the video to make it report 1920x1080, without distorting any pixels. You'll then have a 2-pixel black border, which usually is hard to see. That is what your TV is doing already, with the 1916x1076 video.

You can call your presets from the CLI.

Even though it's "standard," there is nothing sacred about 1920x1080. Is there a particular player you're having trouble with?

Either you should be able to tell the player to use the original size and center it, or let the player zoom in, while trying to preserve aspect ratio

While the OP may be doing this for playback, there are other reasons to upscale/pad.

Then I'd go with the CLI and use a pad of 2 pixels on all sides - it gets you the full dimensions without distortion.

Well, there is that bedeviling fact that 1916x1076 has a natural ratio of 477:269, not 16:9 !

I found a way around it. What I did was selected a video with the dimensions that I wanted to use. Like a 1920 x 800 or 1920 x1080. So once I had the movie in handbrake, I prepared the encoding by setting everything manually. Like the Frame Rate to the same as the source. Then the bit rate I usually set to 2500 or you can set it for what ever you want. Encoder profile to High and the encoder level to 4.1. Next comes the audio. Now this can be set to the default of the video stereo or 5.1 or whatever the source is. Because right now, there is no way to re-encode the audio from stereo to 5.1 or higher. The subtitles are next. I usually do not add those in at the time of encoding. It's my choice. Next is the most important. You want to "Add" this as a new profile. It should be listed as a custom profile. That's it. Clear your test video, and you're ready to encode the one that is bugging you. Good Luck.

basically you mean create a custom profile with a SET resolution rather than "use source" right? i just tried that but no, it wont increase resolution, only decreaseMovieFan1950 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 30, 2020 6:29 am I found a way around it.

Are you really wanting to lose quality and waste time just to add a few pixels?

Sure, but my own OCD would keep the quality and stick with 1916 x 1076

Sorry it did not work for you. I have been doing this for a very long time with great success. So, maybe I'm just lucky. But I do think this should be a "bug fix" item. As more and more videos are being streamed on the internet, sizes sometimes get downsized by a few pixels or even more. I've actually up-sized from 1280*720 to 1920*1080 with no problems. i'm not sure why yours is not functioning.
