It would be nice if you could add another aspect ratio feature to the ones you already have (1.85 :1). for movies which aren't 2.35 or 16/9 but in between.

You can already do it.

mhm all I see in version 0.9.6 and 0.9.8a in Video --> Aspect Ratio --> is
1:1 4:3 16:9 16:10 2.21:1 and 5:4

I just tested it by changing the AR of an avi file via MPEG-4 Modifier to 1.85:1 Display AR, playing it in vlc and applying the relevant AR settings (16:9, 2.21:1) --> the image always gets streched.

so, no you can't. I never understood the 2.21:1 option btw. it isn't 2.35:1 or 1.85:1 so it alwasy streches the image vertically.
instead of or in addition to 2.21:1 you could add 2.35:1 and 1.85:1

You can add your own options manually, and then use those.

ah, thx a lot, got it, Custom Aspect Ratios List
but finding the right input was quite tricky, for example 2.35:1 doesn't work (displayed wrong) but 235:100 does.
same goes for 1.85:1 (185:100) --> 235:100,185:100
as all these AR are already in the crop menu by default it still would be nice if they were in the AR menu too.
thx for the help

Anyone care to elaborate why is this? Doesn't make sense to me. Just added 235:100 for 2.35:1 movie and it works at least. Thanks for giving the values 'truthy'.

That'd be nice.
