1. ok for left/right/top/bottom, I think I got the a/b/c/d from the
sketches I did when I was trying to get the resizing formula correctly
^^
2. just wanted to be generic, if you clip by 0 the computed size in
resize/move should be the same, as you said it does not matter much
3. oh yeah indeed, only color the image xor the clipper
4. I know there is some cropping abilities in VLC, but it does not
work really well (you can crop only by multiples of 8px, if you don't
VLC adds ugly green bars, additionally I think from the command line
you can only crop to predefined ratios, so it's kind of broken)
The only thing this patch adds is a clipper+some resizing, so I don't
think it will add a big cpu overhead. Most of the time is already
taken by resizing the image (with smooth scale), and that's already
happenning even without a crop, as soon as the video size is different
from the destination size.
The advantage of this method is being generic (will work for any engine)
