Portable MKVToolnix is an easy-to-use software utility that can help you merge and create MKV files. The aspect ratio, display width and height can be changed, along with cropping and compression. You're the one who want to crop MKV videos withou.

I'm trying to use MKVMerge's cropping function, per below
mkvmerge --cropping 1:72,0,72,0 300trailer.mkv -o 300trailer_cropped.mkv

This should crop 72 pixels on left & right side of the video. However, VLC 1.1.7 doesn't properly recognize it, and all 144 pixels are cropped from the righthand side. The cropped trailer is here,

I understand VLC has built-in crop settings, but these need to be manually set, and doesn't change depending on the video. I'm trying to set soft-crop parameters for videos for better viewing on 4:3 devices.
If this isn't a bug, and is because VLC doesn't yet support MKV's soft-crop function, then I respectfully request its inclusion for the next VLC iteration (particularly for Android). Thanks in advance for the consideration.Hello,
