Andrew,
The patch DEFAULT_FORMATS-4 has been tested and is now checked into GIT.  Either the split of 1080P/60 and 1080P/59.94 will clarify this for the users or else confuse them in trying to figure out which one to pick   ( ;  !!

I tried to cook up something - but I'm not sure if frame rate for PAL 16:9 progressive should be 25 or 50 ...

https://cloud.mail.ru/public/3N3y/2ZHx1JXEC


        { N_("PAL 576i (16:9) - DV(D)"),        2, 2, 48000,    1, 1, 25,
                720,576,   16,9, ILACE_MODE_BOTTOM_FIRST, BC_YUVA8888 },
        { N_("PAL 576p (16:9) - DV(D)"),        2, 2, 48000,    1, 1, 25,
                720,576,   16,9, ILACE_MODE_NOTINTERLACED, BC_YUVA8888 },

for now I settled on 25 ...

I tried to re-encode

http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/MPEG2/dothack2.mpg

with PAL 576i - 16:9 preset and it come out as
