Cropping and Scaling

So a couple of things:

  1. The Max width, as it is a width limiter, it doesn’t upscale video. You source video has a resolution of Height (pixels) → 576
    Width (pixels) → 544
    Your output video is 544x576, so it’s the same as the source video.
  2. It isn’t cropping because you’ve told MCEBuddy that you profile video parameters are already optimized and hence it should do anything that will change those params, from your logs:

→ ffmpeg-VideoOptimized=true

See the description of VideoOptimized to understand the implications of doing this. This parameter is only used if you’ve got a highly optimized profile for a very specific purpose and you don’t want MCEBuddy to optimize it further.
