[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] Add "sar" alias to "aspect" option of video encoders

[Andrey Utkin]

It is impossible to pass "aspect" parameter to encoder from ffmpeg CLI
because option from lavc/options_table.h is eclipsed by option with same
name in ffmpeg_opt.c, which has different meaning (DAR, not SAR).
