Are the Dshow-based players out there all that primitive that they don't have
any aspect-ratio support at all?  Note that MPEG streams have AR adjustment as
an integral part of the format, so this would mean these programs wouldn't be
able to play lots of MPEG streams properly either..

Anyway, if that's the case, it might make sense to add an option to the Dshow
wrapper for libmcf to pipe its video output through a resizing filter if the
app doesn't support AR handling.. it seems to me this is a very Dshow-specific
problem, tho.  I do think if anything it should be an option, though, and I
don't see why we should limit the output formats if an app just wants the raw
(non-AR-corrected) data out.
