 Summary of the bug:
 I was trying h.265 encoding with libx265 and for the video files I tried,
 it showed an error:

     x265 [error]: Sample Aspect Ratio width must be greater than 0

 The only way to make it start encoding was to use the "setsar" filter, but
 the final video is not playable. This is the output when playing the file
 (repeated some 1000x):

     [hevc @ 0x911020] PPS id out of range: 0
     [hevc @ 0x911020] Error parsing NAL unit #0.

 Is there a simple command line that is known to work with libx265 for
 sure?

 How to reproduce:
