Do you mean video editing or for playback. By that I mean are you cropping a home movie or something like that or are you watching a letterbox DVD on a widescreen and only filling a portion of the screen?

mencoder, which comes with mplayer, can transcode audio and video, and apply filters during, such as scaling filters and cropping filters.

thanks but a command line program is fine for re encodeing or black bar removeal but it seems impossiple to use when trying to get a paticular peace of a video cut out sence I cannot see how I could possibley get the right numbers

I am gong to lern more and try to get it but somethng with a gui would be nice or perhaps some tips

perhapse you could output a few frames which interest you (with relevance to what you're interested in cropping) to jpegs or pause the video and take a screen shot. then you could open those pictures in an image editor and use that to figure out the coordinates

Im not sure how well that would work; it's just a thought
