I was more wondering about the min'( - but now I found out that you don't even need matching pairs of quotes, it is enough to have one single quote anywhere before the first comma, like in scale=min(12'80,iw):min(720,ih) :) - doesn't make much sense, but works. A second quote is only needed somewhere before a regular comma if you need one, like before ,pad.

@maf-soft Because the comma is usually used by ffmpeg to separate filters in a filter chain (in the above example, between scale and pad). By quoting it, ffmpeg will not interpret the comma that way, but use it as part of the first option passed to scale, which is min(1280,iw).

I really don't understand why the single quotes are where they are: scale='min(1280,iw)':min'(720,ih)'
