Comment (by Klaas de Waal):

 With today's master, I do need to set the "Screen aspect ratio" to 16:10
 in order to get a video that exactly fills the window.
 This is OK for me.

 It would however IMHO be an improvement if the default setting would be
 correct for a display with square pixels. I have never seen a display with
 non-square pixels since the days of the standard-definition 16:9 plasma
 TV's.

 According to the Wikipedia page
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_aspect_ratio

 ''In modern digital imaging systems and high-definition televisions,
 especially those that comply with SMPTE standards and practices, only
 square pixels are used for broadcast and display.''
