as this stuff will be migrated to libavfilter scale/crop i dont care too much
about what is done now as long as it does not randomly mix variables from 2
streams and then is exploitable ...

In libavfilter it also would be easy to pass a parameter to switch between 
1. and 2. well it would be easy too in ffmpeg.c but i prefer to keep the
amount of code that needs porting to libavfilter small.
