Bug Description

The original video is 720x576, but its actual aspect ratio is 16:9 (camera produces this format). ffplay and other players play it correctly. However, when I import it to OpenShot, it is displayed as 4:3 (even though the properties correctly say that it is 16:9) in monitor. I guess OpenShot just ignores the aspect ratio from metadata and displays it as if pixels are square.

Similarly, when I export it as DV/DVD Widescreen PAL (I verified on the extended tab that the aspect ratio is set to 16:9, and resolution to 720x576), I get a file that is actually 720x576, but the aspect ratio isn't specified in its metadata, so it is played as 4:3.

I'm attaching the source file (it is not from camera: the file from camera was big, so I cut it with ffmpeg) MOV057A2.MP4

Looks like I can only attach one file... Output file is https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8I7dEvMeq0COF9QRnF3OHNXRU0

When I try to export the same project as 720p, I get letterboxing.

Technical details
-------------------

OS: Fedora 23
OpenShot version: 2.0.7
Installation method: took AppImage from official website.

FFPlay plays reproduction media correctly. FFPlay plays output media as 4:3 (which is correct according to its metadata, but signifies incorrect export behaviour in OpenShot). Same with mlt-melt.

Installed ffmpeg version: 2.8.7
Installed mlt-melt version: 6.0.0
I didn't check if OpenShot uses installed versions or brings its own.
