The Hustler (1961)
[ Thumbnails NOT avail for this movie ]
New: [Use checkbox to enable/disable] Use of progress-bar makes thumbnails visible.
Geek-alert: To achieve the black strip across the viewer's lower edge, to contain the subtitles,
the movie was first trancoded with the "ffmpeg" utility. The concept is that an input video
be converted into 16x9 resolution of 1280x720, and get 'padded' at the bottom with a solid
black strip with a height of 100px. That is achieved with a command such as:
ffmpeg -i orig.mkv -vf "scale=1280:620,setsar=1,pad=1280:ih+100:0:0:Black" -vcodec libx264 -acodec aac new.mp4
