Scale (resize) the input video, using the z.lib library: https://github.com/sekrit-twc/zimg.

The zscale filter forces the output display aspect ratio to be the same as the input, by changing the output sample aspect ratio.

If the input image format is different from the format requested by the next filter, the zscale filter will convert the input to the requested format.

#

Options

The filter accepts the following options.

width, w, height, h

Set the output video dimension expression. Default value is the input dimension.

If the width or w is 0, the input width is used for the output. If the height or h is 0, the input height is used for the output.

If one of the values is -1, the zscale filter will use a value that maintains the aspect ratio of the input image, calculated from the other specified dimension. If both of them are -1, the input size is used

If one of the values is -n with n > 1, the zscale filter will also use a value that maintains the aspect ratio of the input image, calculated from the other specified dimension. After that it will, however, make sure that the calculated dimension is divisible by n and adjust the value if necessary.

See below for the list of accepted constants for use in the dimension expression.

The values of the w and h options are expressions containing the following constants:

in_w, in_h

The input width and height

iw, ih

These are the same as in_w and in_h.

out_w, out_h

The output (scaled) width and height

ow, oh

These are the same as out_w and out_h

a

The same as iw / ih

sar

input sample aspect ratio

dar

The input display aspect ratio. Calculated from (iw / ih) * sar.

hsub, vsub

horizontal and vertical input chroma subsample values. For example for the pixel format "yuv422p" hsub is 2 and vsub is 1.

ohsub, ovsub

horizontal and vertical output chroma subsample values. For example for the pixel format "yuv422p" hsub is 2 and vsub is 1.
