As the title says.
i know the ideal is crop black bars and leave the frame on mod 16 size.
But some times is not possible without cropping image.
Well i DONT want crop the image.

Sometimes that can't be done without breaking one of these two rules:

A) crop black bars and leave a non mod 16 picture (some times the picture has tiny little bars of 2 or 3 pixels on the sides or up and down).

B) Leave the black bars (rarely those black bars are mod 16 width).

I know both choises are not reccomended, but wich one is preferable? (in therms of compression quality/efficience)

Thanks
