Iam not sure what statement from whom you refer to, but the sizes
must be large enough to cover all writes to the surface and the
linesizes must be sufficiently aligned to allow SIMD code to function
at full speed. That is not just SIMD from the software decoder when
used but also possible filters a user application might want to
apply to the output afterwards

If you need some croping details exported, this can be done though i
do not understand why you have this need and everyone else seems not
to have it.
