command line cropping won't work

[tatoosh]

I record many Movies with Hauppauge PVr-250 Card in MPEG2 through WinTVCap.
For playing my files I use VLC - but want to see Video on 37" LCD without borders.
So I have to crop manually.

I tested the command line options but dont get a result:

Code: Select all

vlc.exe mytestvideo.mpg --croppadd-croptop=55 --croppadd-cropbottom=55 --croppadd-cropleft=10 --croppadd-cropright=10

Whats wrong here or is it a bug?

When i change the cropping inside VNC it will work, with my command line not (nothing changes here).

Thx 4 helping, TaToosh

adding

Code: Select all

--vout-filter crop

helps?

[tatoosh]

did you mean this:

Code: Select all

vlc.exe mytestvideo.mpg --vout-filter crop --croppadd-croptop=55 --croppadd-cropbottom=55 --croppadd-cropleft=10 --croppadd-cropright=10

?

or only

Code: Select all

vlc.exe mytestvideo.mpg --vout-filter crop

tried both - nothing changed.
Think its a bug.

--crop-geometry works any better?

[tatoosh]

thx for advise, VLC_help.

Code: Select all

--crop-geometry=<string> Crop geometry (pixels) Set the geometry of the zone to crop. This is set as <width> x <height> + <left offset> + <top offset>.

<width> x <height>: is this the size of screen resolution or of the video resolution?

[VLC_help]

Video resolution.
