Bug Description

On my BQ M10, some MP4 videos have a wrong aspect ratio when played.

While the preview picture is displayed correctly, the playback of video has wrong aspect ratio.

The MP4-video is 16:9 with 720x576 pixels and seems to be played back without pixel aspect ratio correction. This is annoying.

The video file itself seems to be OK as it is played back correctly with vlc, mplayer and totem on my desktop system.

Are you able to make one or more of these videos available to try out? Or if you know of any already publicly available videos, at least link to one or more of those.

Hi. Sorry the actual files are too big. So I cut a file for you that shows the wrong behaviour. See attached file.

Were you able to reproduce the problem on your side?
The sample I provided is a TV capture.
Any chance to get this fixed?

I can confirm that the aspect ratio is incorrect, both for the inline video scope playback and in mediaplayer-app. It seems to be stretch vertically.
