I added a DAR with MeGUI for this video I encoded.
It's a 3:2 video but the DAR is 16:9.
It plays back with the 16:9 AR in VLC but it plays back as 3:2 in MPC.
I'm using the latest version of MPC and I haven't changed the AR in MPC or in FFDShow.

Make sure you have "Set pixel aspect ratio in output media type" and "Allow output format changes during playback" checked in ffdshow's "Output" page, and also make sure "No aspect ratio correction" or "Keep original aspect ratio" is selected on the "Resize & aspect" page, no matter if the resize filter is activated or not.

You could also activate ffdshow's OSD and select "Input aspect ratio" and "Output aspect ratio" and look what gets reported.

Anyway, your file works fine for me with MPC HC 1.0.9.0 and ffdshow...

Thanks. That was the problem. ^^
