Bug Description

The video player should honour display aspect ratio metadata when present, so that e.g. DVDs that were transcoded in the original anamorphic format are shown correctly. Currently it assumes square pixel content while the video scope gets it right, at least for MKV and MP4 files produced by Handbrake.

Attached: Small anamorphic video file for testing.
