I have an avi movie with black bands and I'd like to cut'em off. I tried with "mencoder original_movie.avi -oac copy -o new_movie.avi -ovc copy -vop crop=756:346" but when I watch "new_movie" the black bands are again there. Any suggestion? Thanks a lot. -- Cio' che l'occhio vede e l'orecchio sente, la mente crede.
