-  * **-1** for the width or height will keep it in ratio to the other specified dimension.
-  * **-2** will keep it in ratio to the other specified dimension, but, to ensure it is divisible by 2 (a requirement for certain encodings such as yuv420p) the width or height will be adjusted if necessary.

-**NOTE:**  Lanczos resampling involves a sinc filter as well.
-  * It is more computationally expensive but usually described as very high quality and can be used for up- and downsampling.

-===== Upscaling Video to 4K =====
-<code bash>
-ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf scale=3840x2560:flags=lanczos -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 21 output_compress_4k.mp4
-</code>
-==== Faster ====
-<code bash>
-ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf scale=3840x2560:flags=lanczos -c:v libx264 -preset veryfast -crf 25 output.mp4
-</code>
-<WRAP info>
-**NOTE:**  To achieve a faster upscale use a fast preset like **veryfast** or **superfast** however these will give a poorer compression but will complete the upscaling faster.
-  * Using a CRF of 25 will also lower the output quality slightly (less bitrate = less size).
-  * Slower encoding means more quality is kept and the compression is superior.

-===== Downscaling Video =====
-<code bash>
-ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf scale=640x480:flags=lanczos -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 21 output_compress_480p.mp4
-</code>

-===== Downscale or Downsize =====
-<code bash>
-ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf scale=1920:1080 -c:v libx264 smaller.mp4
