Restore/set aspect ratio header in DV files?

Hi all,

I'm using Kino in combination with Cinelerra, with Kino mostly used for
capturing and exporting DV, and Cinelerra for the heavy lifting re
effects and rendering to DVD-compatible MPEG files, with DV as the main
project editing and storage format.

Since I started working with 16:9 aspect ratio projects, I found that
Cinelerra appears to have a bug in its DV codec: when rendering a 16:9
project to DV, the resulting DV file is interpreted as 4:3 henceforth.

I already posted questions about this in the Cinelerra mailing list
(it's a Cinelerra bug, after all), but so far, without an answer --
which is why I try my luck here.

The basic question is simple: is there a way to force a 16:9 aspect
ratio onto a DV file -- iow: set the 16:9 aspect ratio header in the DV
file? Kino's Edit -> Preferences -> Defaults offer an aspect ratio
setting, but this is apparently overridden by the project/video file, so
Cinelerra's faulty header settings are not changed.

Thanks in advance, best regards,

Richard Rasker
