ffmpeg "error cropping picture"

[eva01]

Hi everyone

I got problem with ffmpeg: I am trying to encode some unsompressed avi (captured using dscaler) to x264 and crop picture eddges.

Command line that I am using is:
ffmpeg -i in.avi -acodec libfaac -ab 128k -cropleft 64 -vcodec libx264 -vpre %ffmpeg_hq% -b 1024k -bt 1024k -threads 0 -y out.mp4
%ffmpeg_hq% is path to x264 preset for high quality

After starting this I immediately get: "error cropping picture" all over the screen. And if I remove -cropleft 64 from the command everything works fine (but picture doesn't get cropped ).

Is there any solution or workaround to this? I am using ffmpeg since it's easy to script, so any script frendly solution that does encoding and DOESN'T produce temporary files is aceptable for me.

My ffmpeg -version output (it should be the latest)

See https://forum.videohelp.com/topic343287-120.html#1922560 . I guess you need to use avisynth to be able to crop.
