not, in mpeg it's the video stream which contains AR not the container.
this is why ffmpeg codec overrides AR, when parsed out frame header.

for mov there is no actual AR, but a 'display size' which may have different
AR than coded width/height.

i think i'll add an aspect field to the demux_stream_t, and it will have
priority over codec AR, so for example mpeg4 video embedded in mov or
matroska will work as expected.
