Ignore aspect ratio information from video file and assume the video has
square pixels. See also ``--video-aspect``.

+ This sets the default video aspect determination method (if the aspect is
+ _not_ overridden by the user with ``--video-aspect`` or others).

+ :hybrid: Prefer the container aspect ratio. If the bitstream aspect
+ switches mid-stream, switch to preferring the bitstream aspect.
+ This is the default behavior in mpv and mplayer2.

+ Normally you should not set this. Try the ``container`` and ``bitstream``

Disable scaling of the video. If the window is larger than the video,
black bars are added. Otherwise, the video is cropped. The video still
