Description

HandBrake - Possibility to scale video by factor or percent -- Often I'm in the situation 1) to reduce screencasts made on a @2x display to @1x resolution. 2) or other downscaling by meaningfull factors like *0.25 or *0.5 or *0.75 to achieve a best possible downscaling (= fewest pixel interpolation artefacts) -- WORKAROUND: Calculate yourself -- SourceDimension (860) x ScalingFactor 0.5 = TargetDimension (430) • Final Dimensions to my assure myself. At PAR 1:1 it usually is. • Except maybe when choosing odd image dimensions not align-able with macroblock. I do not recall that this ever happened to me.

Environment

  • Currently using HandBrake 1.6.1 on macOS 11.7.4 Big Sur
  • I'd like to see the feature for all platforms ofc, but for Mac only (for starters) would be fine for me too personally
