[Ffmpeg-devel] Bug when decoding WMV HD file. The aspect ratio is not preserved

[Thomas Parmegiani]

Hi all!

I downloaded some WMV HD files on :

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/musicandvideo/hdvideo/contents
howcase.aspx

I wanted to convert it to MPEG2 without audio (Audio is WMAPro which is not
currently supported by ffmpeg).
For 720p files, converted MPEG2 files preserve aspect ratio (16/9).
But for 1080p files (which have a resolution of 1440 x 1080), converted
aspect ratio is 4/3.

The same problem appears if I try to use VLC to play WMV file

Problem seen with files :

Amazing caves :

Coral Reef :

And I think with all others 1440 x 1080 files...

Best Regards,
