  Of course that would be a QT problem because it seems that we have
a container format not capable of signaling aspect ratio. But then
again, now that we have SAR generation being part of the DV codec, 
I have no problem with making SAR recognition being part of the codec
as well.
  
  Anybody thinks its a bad idea ? Anybody thinks that CODECs should
not set avctx->sample_aspect_ratio ? 

Thanks,
