Annoying slight side-cropping using Xvid (via AutoGK)

[ming2020]

OK, when I compare the original DVD frame with the encoded AVI video frame the latter always has a slight cropping on both left and right (a handful of pixels per side).

I've tried the hidden settings under the latest release of AutoGK (disabled autocrop by setting tolerance to zero, all sides with zero cropping, verified the contents of .autocrop). Tried with a few movies also (sources are anamorphic 16:9, some with 4:3).

I don't think it's the player's fault either, as I've tried quite a few: bsplayer, zoomplayer, vlc.

Any ideas on what's going on here?

Thanks.

AutoGK does that because it is the right thing to do.

if output width is not the same as source (i.e. not 720) then cropping is done to preserve AR as width and height have to be mod16...

Is that for auto-cropping, or even when you completely override it (threshold set to 0, and values entered in the cropping values)?
