Forcing alone sar or dar it will not change resolution, only it will change information for player how it schould scale to output. sar is pixel size, dar aspect ratio.. So when you had 544x576 [SAR 32:17 DAR 16:9] it means you have source 544x576 what is real aspect ratio 17:18 of resolution, but with sar (pixel size) and dar (output aspect ratio) it should say to player to rescale, but not every player doint it right, so solution is rescale to get real aspect ratio of 16:9 , so in your file use -vf scale=1024:576,setsar=1:1 (or setdar=16:9) it will rescale source resolution to resolution where pixel is 1x1 and will set sar/dar information in file (because normal rescaling would try keep information about pixel size)

Thanks for your reply,

The stream info for this file is as follows. As you can see the DAR
starts as 16:9, but the aspect changes several times during the
recording, x264 doesn't follow the changes, stays at 16:9.

If I force the SAR as you suggest the output is narrower than 4:3 and
still doesn't change with incoming aspect changes.

Input #0, mpegts, from '00001.ts':
   Duration: 00:59:49.47, start: 4529.649200, bitrate: 1477 kb/s
   Program 132
     Stream #0:0[0x18a1]: Video: mpeg2video (Main) ([2][0][0][0] /
0x0002), yuv420p(tv), 544x576 [SAR 32:17 DAR 16:9], max. 15000 kb/s, 25
fps, 25 tbr, 90k tbn, 50 tbc
     Stream #0:1[0x18a2](eng): Audio: mp2 ([3][0][0][0] / 0x0003), 48000
Hz, stereo, s16p, 128 kb/s
     Stream #0:2[0x18a3](eng): Audio: mp3 ([3][0][0][0] / 0x0003), 0
channels, s16p
     Stream #0:3[0x18a6](eng): Subtitle: dvb_subtitle ([6][0][0][0] / 0x0006)

If I analyse the stream 5 minutes into the programme, like so:
ffmpeg -loglevel quiet -ss 00:05:00 -i "00001.ts" -t 10 -c copy
-avoid_negative_ts 1 -f nut pipe:1 | ffmpeg -hide_banner -i pipe:0

Then the video stream is as follows:

Stream #0:0: Video: mpeg2video (Main) (mpg2 / 0x3267706D), yuv420p(tv),
544x576 [SAR 24:17 DAR 4:3], max. 15000 kb/s, SAR 32:17 DAR 16:9, 25
fps, 25 tbr, 90k tbn, 50 tbc

So it is meant to show as 4:3 here.
I'm assuming the 2 sets of SAR/DAR are for container and stream which is
why it still shows as 16:9 after ffmpeg processing ?

Maybe your source not have sar 1:1... setdar will not change

what yuou want and setsar for it... ( -vf scale=x:y,setsar=1 )

Hi list,

I have a number of MPEG2 TS DVB recordings that have aspect ratio
changes - e.g. older films or 4:3 programmes that have 16:9
continuity, trailers, adverts etc.

I want to transcode to H264 using ffmpeg (3.02), but the output
aspect ratio does not follow the source when using the H264 codec.
But the aspect ratio does follow when using the xvid/mp4 codec.
I need x264 not mp4.
The problem is that (I think) the container DAR or SAR stays at 16:9
all the way through but the stream SAR or DAR doesn't follow the
source for whatever reason

Is there a way to make x264 output follow the source aspect ratio at
the stream level ?

Failing example :
ffmpeg -y -i 00001.ts -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 0:3 -c:v libx264 -preset
veryfast -profile:v high -level 4.0 -crf 20 -flags +loop -flags +ilme
-vf yadif=0:-1:0 -c:a:0 aac -b:a:0 128k -c:s copy -f mpegts file-1.ts
(same if I take out the profile and deinterlace settings)

Working example (but large file and not so good quality, even if I
could use it):
ffmpeg -y -i 00001.ts -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 0:3 -c:v libxvid -q:v 3
-c:a:0 aac -b:a:0 128k -c:s copy -f mpegts file-1.ts

If I add -vf setdar=dar=4/3, I can force the x264 version to be 4/3
but then all parts of the recording are always 4/3 which is also wrong.

Behaviour is the same on VLC player, ffplay, and Kodi.

Appreciate any pointers
Thanks
Richard
