How do I crop a SVCD?

[Holomatrix]

Hello, I just would like to know how to crop a SVCD mpeg, top and bottom.
Thanks

use tmpgenc where its self explanatory.
use avisynth with: Crop(left,top,width,height)
use virtualdub with "add filters" and "configure"
use dvd2avi with the meny option crop

use sissors for all I care ... can you be a wee bit more specific I wonder?

Sorry for that, I'm going to use crop in avisynch before the encode. I was, actually looking for all the various options that are available and you supplied it. Do any of those allow cutting after the Encoded of the SVCD mpg is finished already?
Thanks

Glad to be of assistance.

No, crops have to be part of the encode.

Temporary cropping should be no problem though. Take any avi/mpeg and do f.i following script:

------------------------------------
#loadplugin("c:\mpeg2dec.dll")#In case of mpg erase bracket
#mpeg2source("c:\clip.mpg") #In case of mpg erase bracket
avisource("c:\clip.avi")
Crop(left,top,width,height) #Insert numbers here
------------------------------------

and save as "whatever.avs" then drag to mplayer2. But this is probably not what you want. You'll probably get troubles with the audio too.
