Re changelog for 0.7.39:
"+ DV: better detection of display aspect ratio for specific (non standard?) streams"
This BROKE the aspect ratio detection of DV AVI files written by Adobe Premiere, which now detects 16:9 files as 4:3 !
A test file can be downloaded here: (60mb)

This is correctly identified as 16:9 by Premiere, After Effects, G-Spot, and MediaInfo prior to 0.7.39.
Some output from various versions of the command line version:

I have this problem too when check some DV AVI files. Is there a way to solve this problem? Can I calc correct aspect by using other mediainfo parameters (pixel ratio wrong too) ?
