I have bunch of video of screen capture. I would like to remove some portion of the video from top. How can I do it in a batch, is there a software to do this out there. Thanks for all the replies.

AviSynth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AviSynth) may offer what you seek. Note that the 3.0 rewrite (http://avisynth3.unite-video.com/) runs on both Windows and Linux.

Virtualdub is a personal favorite. http://www.virtualdub.org/docs/vdscript.txt

I suppose FFMPEG could work too.

Mencoder can crop videos:

    mencoder $1 -vf crop=322:242:26:225 -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc -o $2

That command would extract a 322x242 rectangle from position 26, 225 in the video.
