I wanted to test AV1.webm rendering from anamorphic 16:9 SD-DV(D)
widescreen sources, which have different SAR 64:45 than 1080i HDV
SAR 4:3
It would be fine to get this SAR value verified and clarified vs
Wikipedia's table which specifies different for PAL (16:9) 720x576 :
SAR 5:4, PAR 64:45
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_aspect_ratio#Pixel_aspect_ratios_of_common_video_formats
This legacy 16:9 SD format was created and can be obtained among the
following methods::
1. DV camcorders with Widescreen feature, the
right/true way and wrong/fake way
https://www.videouniversity.com/articles/dv-formats-everything-you-need-to-know/#widescreen
2. DV wide record or downconvert playback using a HD(V) camcorder
with this feature
3. DVD video disc enhanced for 16:9 or a BD video disc with 16:9
SD content
4. Render/transcode i.e a HD(V) video file using
a) Cin-GG
b) FFmpeg
I have used the two latter methods as follows:
4 a) Cin-GG
Loaded a PAL 1080i/50 HDV clip
Set Format Preset: PAL 576i (16:9) - DV(D)
File Render File Format: FFmepg - avi (NB! because plain Raw DV
still causes DAR 4:3)
Audio: Preset: avi_pcm_s16.avi
Video: Compression: dv_pal.avi

---------------------------------
The HDV source has Scan order : Top Field First
What would be right, Top or Bottom Field First for the output file
(they differ)?
