 Summary of the bug:
 files encoded with libx264 support aspect ratio change during the clip.
 With libx265 this is not the case. It is not clear to me if this is a
 libx265 issue or an ffmpeg issue.

 How to reproduce:
 ffmpeg, ffplay from ffmpeg-git

 encode example MPEG2 clip which changes AR from 4:3 to 16:9 (PAL, non-
 square pixel).

 ffmpeg -i ar-change.mpg -vcodec libx264 ar-change-h264.ts
 ffmpeg -i ar-change.mpg -vcodec libx265 ar-change-h265.ts

 Display with ffplay
 ffplay ar-change.mpg
 ffplay ar-change-h264.ts
 ffplay ar-change-h265.ts

 mpg/h264 will show AR change, h265 not.

 no external player (kodi, mplayer, vlc) show AR change, so i assume its an
 ffmpeg/avcodec issue (or libx265), but not an ffplay issue.
