Need Video Converter that can Crop Aspect Ratio alone

[emmarbee]

Hi Everybody,
I'm having a great time with my Galaxy S mobile's default video player (certainly the best player for android, bettering the third party players).
But there is one small problem I'm facing with this player.
I'm having loads of movies in my hard disk and I'm using Media Player Classic to see it in my monitor and I press the button 'NumPad 9' to zoom to my desired level, as I hate the 2.35:1 aspect ratio.

But in my mobile video player, there is no option to do so. There is one great option to "fit to screen". But that stretches the video.

Can you guys help me find a video converter that just crops the aspect ratio of the video alone (no conversion, only cropping of aspect ratio), there by it doesn't take a lot of time to convert a particular video.

As of now, I'm using XiliSoft Video Converter.
I'm having D930 CPU. It is taking 200 mins (some times more time) to convert a video file of 2 hr length.
And the funny part here is, the video itself is 700mb. But I'm converting it to 900mb video (but still the quality is reduced) and it takes a lot of time and CPU energy.

If only there was a player to crop/zoom aspect ratio or a converter that just crops the aspect ratio, I CAN SKIP the HOURS of video conversion on my PC.

Help me out guys!!!!

You can't crop without re-encoding.

Download x264 and try this,

x264.exe --profile baseline --crf 22 --ref 1 --vbv-bufsize 6000 --vbv-maxrate 6000 --vf crop:80,0,80,0 -o "output.mp4" "input.xxx"

While testing, add --seek 5000 --frames 4000. This will only encode 4000 while your testing parameters.

Some things you will need to do.
Adjust the crop values as you see fit.
If it's encoding to slow for you, add --preset faster or --preset veryfast.
You can also adjust the --crf setting. Higher values mean lower quality, less bitrate, smaller size, slightly faster encoding speed.
Smaller values are opposite.

As for the audio, I'm going to let someone else answer that as I still can't get in sync mp4 files. I haven't tried really hard though.

Hello, emmarbee. As Audionut said, what you have requested, i.e. cropping the video without re-encoding, is technically impossible.

Also he provided a command-line for x264 that would do the job: Crop and re-encode the video.

If you don't know how to work with command-line tools, you can use one of the various x264 GUI's to accomplish the task:

Thank you very much Lord, but I'm putting a pause for this issue as of now.
