[MPlayer-users] mencoder/crop => image distortion

[ROED,HAAVARD (HP-Norway,ex1)]

Ofcourse, encoding with:

mencoder -dvd 14 -oac copy -ovc xvid -xvidencopts
bitrate=1272:me_quality=5:4mv -vop crop=720:550:0:12 -o movie.avi

seems to give a good result, but then the black sidebands are in the video,
too...

So rescaling is the only option? crop at 714:550:2:12, and rescaling to
704x502? Is that a good choice?
