"Is there a way to get it to crop the six

That won't help. Compressing does much more than change the frame size. It "throws out" picture information to create a much smaller file size. This is done within the frame and has little to do with the six lines of video".
Be careful going down this road. If you're doing critical GRFX, this seemingly small frame size difference can turn out to be a huge problem when reconforming.
Hope this helps.
