Width : 960
Height : 2565
Pixel Aspect Ratio : Square Pixels

You can't. All MPEG formats require multiples of 2 for the output dimensions. It's a technical thing. You need to study up on this stuff. Of course you can always use alternate formats like ProRes, but that may not be of much use for whatever you have in mind.

You cannot use odd numbers of rows or columns for all distribution codecs, including MP4. The frame size must be even numbered because the compression algorithms always use blocks of 4 pixels. Only lossless formats like Pro-rez are capable of odd numbers of pixel rows or columns. 

 

If you are rendering for a web page, all media players will also play only even numbers of rows or columns, and the frame sizes are also limited to a standard group of sizes like HD, Social Media Square, and so on.
