Encoding 1920x1080 forced to 1920x1072

I've been encoding some HD content with Staxrip and am wondering why it is that you cannot encode 1080p files in their native resolution. I'm encoding 1080p sources in a lower bitrate to get their size more managable and end up having to crop the picture down to 1920x1072 to get the pixel count divisible by 16. Is this an x264 thing? I've done a lot of searching but haven't found anything directly related to this. I did read that x264 isn't as efficient with non 16 divisible numbers, but not anything stating it can't be done. Obviously this isn't the end of the world, just an annoyance.
