In my (swedish) everyday work these situations are the most common:
*
*
*Square pixels:*
*HD 16:9.* 1920 x 1080 -> 1920 x 1080
*HD 1:1,85* 1920 x 1038 -> 1998 x 1080
*HD 1:1,66* 1793 x 1080 -> 1793 x 1080
*HD 1:1,37* 1480 x 1080 -> 1480 x 1080
*HD 4:3* 1436 x 1080 -> 1436 x 1080
*HD scope.* 1920 x 803 -> 2048 x 858
*SD 4:3 768 x 576* -> 1436 x 1080
*SD 16:9 letterboxed* 768 x 431 -> 1920 x 1080
*SD scope letterboxed* 760 x 321 -> 2048 x 858 (nasty)
*Non square pixels:*
*SD 16:9 anamorfic* 768 x 576 -> 1920 x 1080
The numbers are calculated on my cellphone, please correct me if necessary.
Another alternative might be a checkbox "square pixels" combined with a
sort of zoom or "fill aspect FLAT/SCOPE" function.
What I´m aimaing at is a scaling option that makes incoming picture fit
into outgoing FLAT or SCOPE *without* any stretching or cropping.
Stretching or cropping should be an active choice from the operator
(assuming that he or she knows the consequences)
Some scope films has burned subtitles in the black bar. A "manual" or
"custom" choice would be necessary to handle those.
