Good idea with video ;)

I postet it mostly because you wanted it, possibly to compare HDV and DV 
formats.
As known, SD DV has been the most widespread digital video format 
(before HDV and later FHD took over).
All my analog Hi8 (SVideo) tape kasettes have been digitized via an A/D 
converter to SD-DV format.
This plain PAL 4:3 DV with PCM audio could possibly be used as a 
"minitest" for DVD Render and BD Render.
But I think  Phyllis has used a lot DV format of more useful clip lengts 
to this purpose, maybe already in the manual(?)

One answer on StackExchange:
SAR is defined in MPEG-2 spec (ISO/IEC 13818-2) as sample aspect ratio. 
There is no PAR. Storage Aspect Ratio appears to be invented by some app 
vendor.

Yet, with DAR = SAR * PAR

HDV 1080i:   16/9 = (1440/1080) * (4/3) = 1.7778
HDV 1280p:  16/9 = (1280/720) * (1/1) = 1.7778
