Yes, apparently the formatting tag I used is not supported. Here is the command:
ffmpeg.exe -y -i "myvideo.avi" -vf "yadif=0:-1:0,framestep=2,scale=iw*sar:ih,scale=-2:ih/3.3333" -c:v libx265 -preset placebo -b:v 53.905k -pass 1 -ac 1 -cutoff 12000 -c:a libopus -b:a 16k -vbr 1 -f matroska NUL && \ ffmpeg.exe -y -i "myvideo.avi" -vf "yadif=0:-1:0,framestep=2,scale=iw*sar:ih,scale=-2:ih/3.3333" -c:v libx265 -preset placebo -b:v 53.905k -pass 2 -ac 1 -cutoff 12000 -c:a libopus -b:a 16k -vbr 1 "myvideo.mkv" Moritz, thanks for pointing out 1/3 vs. 1/3.3333. Yes, I wanted 33% (1/3), not 30% (1/3.3333). In the solution you gave (scale=iw/3*sar:ih/3), how can I ensure that both dimensions are divisible by 2? Since they are both explicitly defined, I cannot use -2, right? -- View this message in context: http://ffmpeg-users.933282.n4.nabble.com/How-can-I-simplify-these-two-scale-calculations-tp4671742p4671747.html Sent from the FFmpeg-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user
