how to set original resolution & which scaling method to

[Chewy21]

I would like to select the original video resolution and not have to scale at all but I'm forced to enter values in the fields which I'm not sure about... video info shows 720x576 (letter box 2.35:1) so I'm cropping the video but I dont want to end up upscaling either because ffmpegX auto detects 718 436 2 70 (718 -> upscaling 2pixels ?). Finaly what scaling method should be used, if the video is not actually scaled, does that matter ?

If you encode to mpeg-4 based codecs you should just click "Autocrop" and the right size will be used without scaling.
