Shouldnt 960x544 be 960x540 ??

[squadjot]

Hey, ive stumbled over this recently...,

why are some using a format called 960x544 ??
wouldnt it make moer sense to use 960x540 whis is exactly half of 1980x1080

Am i missing out on something?

544 is an integer multiple of 8, 540 is not.

960x544 has a ratio extremely close (off by a hundredth of a decimal point) to 16:9. Someone either had a 1280x720 or a 1980x1080 source that they reduced the resolution on but kept the same aspect ratio.

960x544 (or 960x540 if you prefer - it makes no significant difference) is NOT "exactly half" of 1980x1080. This is a common math error. It is actually almost one fourth (1/4) because what you have is a situation of 1980 being cut in half (roughly) to 960 and 1080 being cut in half to 544 (or 540) and 2 x 2 = 4, so it's about one fourth. Or put another way:
960 x 544 = 522240
1980 x 1080 = 2138400
2138400 / 522240 = 4.09 (let's round that off to 4)
so 960 x 544 is one fourth the size of 1980 x 1080.
