Because cropdetect is usually used for finding encoding parameters, and
most codecs need the video dimentions to be a multiple of 16.

You can turn it (almost completely) off by using "2" as the "round"
parameter eg"cropdetect=24:2".  Most codecs need the crop parameters to
be divisible by 2, so that is the minimum.  My patch originally allowed
you to select 1 as well (eg. for 4:4:4 sources) but Reimar overruled me,
and changed that.
