[HELP] Resize doesn't seem to be working

[Selur]

I have to crop this video :
- 26 left
- 4 bottom
so the result will be 696x476

Yes, if no PAR conversion would take place

I try to repeat this as I understood your post.

a. you have a 720x480 source with a wrong PAR
b. when you change the PAR to 8x9 the output is played properly inside VLC
c. when you crop the source to 696x476 and also enable 'convert output to PAR' and set that to 'square pixel' the output is distorted again.
Enabling the conversion from PAR 8:9 to PAR 1:1 should automatically enable resize and adjust the height, so the output should be 694x536.
If you manually do additional resizing and disable the 'Auto adjust' in the resizing, you yourself are responsible for keeping the aspect ratio properly,.. so don't blame Hybrid.

so i also have to set 'target resolution : 696x476'

What is forcing you to do that? If you do that with the PAR-conversion enabled you will get a distorted output.

do smone understand why it is so ? is it normal

It is normal that if you blindly resize your output is distorted.

does the "visual" problem come from VLC ?

not unless you overwrite the PAR in VLC,...
