How about this one: mencoder foo.mpeg \ -vf crop=720:352:0:64 \ -oac copy \ -ovc lavc \ -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video \ -o newfile.avi This one is a little tricky, because mencoder will transcode your file if you're not careful. So this part... -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video ...needs to change according to what your source material is. I think the above might work for DVD material? > (Yes, Handbrake makes the job trivial, but no, I don't want to > transcode the file, just "crop and save".
