How were you thinking it should be handled? At the moment it looks at
pixel aspect ratio and chooses the "best" ratio with respect to that.
I guess I had something in my mind like keeping the aspect ratio from the pixel AR flag
always present when dealing with the file, or, always convert to square pixels first, >
then let the user choose a scaling. But as I have no idea of DCP-o-matics internal
handling of this, this may not be feasible. The way you did it solves 16:9 default

non-square pixels. Of course, there is no easy way to deal with this when
we have letterboxed content like 1.85 or 2.39 from BluRay or DVD. Wondering wether these
files actually carry a
'letterboxed' or 'visible content in lines x-y' indicator? That would be
handy.
I'm not aware of one.
