I think it's the -w and -l options for width and height, respectively. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I only use the CLI version (https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/CLIGuide), |
| 26 |
but I'm sure there's somewhere in the GUI to set all that stuff as well. |
| 27 |
I think that web page is a bit out of date, so do "HandbrakeCLI |
| 28 |
--help" for a current set of options. |

-w and -l set the output file's width/height (in pixels). If your |
| 35 |
pixels are square, then I think that's all you need. If your pixels |
| 36 |
aren't square, then I think you need some other options. |
| 37 |

You can get a list of the exact settings for each of the presets by |
| 39 |
doing HandBrakeCLI --preset-list. |

I don't have the GUI version installed, so I'm afraid I can't help |
| 45 |
with that end of it, but IIRC the GUI will let you create your own |
| 46 |
presets. I don't think the CLI version does custom presets, but it |
| 47 |
would be easy enough to copy the settings from one of the built-in |
| 48 |
presets into a file, and edit them until you get a command line that |
| 49 |
works the way you want. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Once you've figured out good settings for your device, submit a patch, |
| 52 |
and next time maybe HandBrake will already "just know" what to do. :) |
