How can I use ffmpeg to cut video in half, vertically or horizontally by resolution; so for a 640 x 480 video, I want to separate that into two halves with a resolution of 320 x 480, or to separate it into two halves horizontally with a resolution of 640 x 240; and afterward, I need to be able to join the separated videos again to make a single video with the original resolution. How can this be done?

separate into two halves
Use the crop filter:
horizontal
ffmpeg -i input -filter_complex "[0]crop=iw:ih/2:0:0[top];[0]crop=iw:ih/2:0:oh[bottom]" -map "[top]" top.mp4 -map "[bottom]" bottom.mp4
vertical
ffmpeg -i input -filter_complex "[0]crop=iw/2:ih:0:0[left];[0]crop=iw/2:ih:ow:0[right]" -map "[left]" left.mp4 -map "[right]" right.mp4
join the separated videos
Use the vstack/hstack filters as shown in Vertically or horizontally stack several videos using ffmpeg?
