Hmm, maybe what I wrote above should have been "get the aspect ratio from the X server", then, as that seems possible. Most video players I use just "get it right" without me needing to do anything (except mplayer, but that one even ignores aspect ratios specified in the videos themselves!). I've just tried "xdpyinfo" and get :
[...] dimensions: 1680x1050 pixels (569x356 millimeters) resolution: 75x75 dots per inch [...]
So theoretically speaking, as my pixels are square (75x75dpi), the 8/5 aspect ratio can be calculated.
I thought about that (dpi) when I wrote my reply and I'll put looking into this on my todo, but unfortunatly it isn't that easy for most monitors X can't probe the size (only the frequences) and thus ase 75x75 dpi as a default and in this case we might get it hopelessly wrong, but most definatly something worth looking into.
