I love the black bar removal feature - I previously used to manually do the crop in Handbrake before mcebuddy  
Unfortunately many of the films I record and convert have a channel logo in the top black bar stopping the mcebuddy from removing the top black bar  
The lower black bar is always removed OK  
I find the upper and lower black bars are nearly always the same size  
Would it be possible to have additional options in the experts settings to only auto measure the crop from a particular side ie bottom and then this measurement be replicated to the top  
This would allow a top crop and ignore the fact there is a logo there

Regards
