[Cin] Anamorphic 16:9 SD-DV(D) widescreen to AV1.webm

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)?

Rendering next the AVI and DV files to AV1.webm displays correct 16:9 
widescreen
