           Summary: [PATCH] mpeg2dec: prefer container's pixel aspect ratio
                    over the stream's
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: HEAD CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-ugly
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: robin at nibor.org

     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


When an MPEG 2 video stream is inside a container that specifies a custom
pixel-aspect-ratio for it (e.g. in MKV), the PAR is currently ignored. See also
bug 555699 for the same problem with theoradec:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=555699

With the following patch (based on Wim Taymans' patch for theoradec), mpeg2dec
uses the PAR of the container if it is set.
