or - crop the black bands and use aspect.
i had a 720x480 DVD which i cropped to 704x352 (multiples of 16)
original aspect was 1.78. so:
720 / 480 = 1.50 which needs to be scaled to 1.78 for playback which
means multiply by 1.78/1.50 = 1.186
i cropped to 704/352 = 2.00 which needs to be multiplied by 1.186
2.00 * 1.18 = 2.36 so i went with aspect 2.35:1 (encoded with aspect=2.35)
at playback mplayer does:
Movie-Aspect is 2.35:1 - prescaling to correct movie aspect.
VO: [xv] 704x352 => 828x352 Planar YV12
i hope i am not _completely_ wrong with this math, afterall, the
rips look natural.

i ripped to 2 CDs so i used -ovc frameno

i don't think there are many aspects "out there", only 2.35, 16:9
and 4:3.
