I also found some recent bugreports about various video software and asoect
ratio

https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake/issues/5658

see log, where it says

[20:12:27] WARNING: bitstream PAR 1:1 != container PAR 9:16

so, may be we also should be super verbose and print TWO SAR values if
detected, one from bitstream (codec) and another from container?

See also avidemux question

https://avidemux.org/smif/index.php?topic=19617.0

====
Few video players honor pixel aspect ratio info from codec rather from the
container, [..]
====

and openshot bug

https://github.com/OpenShot/libopenshot/issues/489

auto-closed due to bot?? so not sure if it was fixed or not in openshot.

So, we are not only ones who STILL confused by all this :p
