Cropping within VLM

[KillaB]

Anyone know the proper syntax or whether or not it will work?

I'm trying to use the crop-geometry command so I can eliminate a large green bar at the bottom of my incoming video before outputting to a mosaic.

Running the latest 0.8.4-test2a in WindowsXP.

Thanks,
Jason

Cropping on streams is broken for some time now.

Its *supposed* to work something like this, at least for VOD sources:
new test vod
setup test input "some source video"
setup test output #transcode{vcodec=mpgv,vb=3000,acodec=mpga,ab=192,croptop=50,cropbottom=50}
setup test enabled

However, stream cropping is broken since 0.8.1 or so, and a fix is postponed until some filter rework is done for 0.8.5. You can download my patch for cropping and some more format magic here:

urig, could you explain me how to apply your patch on Windows XP platform, not Linux ?
