The aspect ratio encoded in the video is 16:9, the demuxer says 1:1. The
algorithm for choosing the most likely correct aspect ratio is taking the non
1:1 aspect ration and in case of doubt, use the decoder aspect ratio.

This does not work for this movie, which is actualy to be displayed in 1:1. not
sure how to fix this. 

QuickTime specifies that all movies are to be displayed as 1:1 unless otherwise
specified with an pasp atom. 

Maybe this algorithm might work better:

 - demuxers that force or know about an aspect ratio specify it on their caps,
   decoder prefers demuxer aspect ratio over its own.

 - demuxers that have no clue about aspect ratio, don't specify anything and
let
   the decoder select one.
