Do you mean using the "filter" keyword under the zscale property/variable?

I tried this, again no luck (also tried filter=point):

ffmpeg.exe -f lavfi -i color=0x19be0f:s=400x578 -crf 0 -vcodec libx264 -vf zscale=w=-1:h=-1:filter=lanczos -t 5 -y "578.mp4"

If you would kindly give the appropriate command line, or even just the relevant bit of the line
to make zscale work, that might help save me from flailing around as much ;)
