Thanks for the great tip.
Much appreciated.
If this works, it is exactly what I am searching for.

I'm having an invalid argument error.
Please take a peek at the command line below, see if you can spot where I went 
wrong.
My screen resolution is 3840:2160.

ffmpeg -y -hide_banner -i 20000_LEAGUES_SPECIAL_PASSTHROUGH.mkv -c:v copy -c:a 
copy -c:s copy 20000_LEAGUES_SPECIAL_PASSTHROUGH.PAD.mkv 
-filter:pad=3840:2160:max(0\,(3840-iw)/2):max(0\,(2160-ih)/2

 Hi Bruce,

It should work with the following filter:

pad=4096:2160:max(0\,(4096-iw)/2):max(0\,(2160-ih)/2

(replace by 3840:2160 if you’re talking about UHD).
