Cropping keeps failing...

[Rander]

I've done cropping many times before, but now, it keeps failing for reasons I can't figure out...

I can do

ffmpeg.exe -i 1920x1080.mkv -map 0 -c:v libx265 -crf 23 -c:a copy -c:s copy output.mkv

and it works perfectly - but when trying to crop, doing

ffmpeg.exe -i 1920x1080.mkv -map 0 -c:v libx265 -crf 23 -c:a copy -c:s copy -vf crop=1463:1080:229:0 cropped.mkv

gives

Can anyone explain why this fails? As I said, I never had this problem before!?

[LigH.de]

My guess: You want to crop video to an odd width, which is probably illegal in YUV 4:2:0 chroma subsampling.

Agree with LigH.de

crop=1463:1080:229:0

[Rander]

Well, that hasn't been a problem before - and changing it to 1464:1080:228:0 still gives the same error...

What is the resolution of the source?

[ProWo]

Tested.
Your commandline works well, with 1463:1080:229:0 (resulting 1462x1080) and 1464:1080:228:0 (resulting 1464x1080).
Update your ffmpeg version.

I have V7.0 - is there a newer one?

1920*1080 (as I thought I had made clear with the filename).

I've tested with this one:

Could it be that the source isn’t really 1080?
