Ah, that's what you meant. Nope, sorry, I won't add an option for this. The reason is that in Matroska all information on every level should be the same. What I mean is: with AVC and other video formats there's the aspect ratio information on the bitstream level and the aspect ratio information on the container level. These two should always be the same -- otherwise how should a player decide which information to use? (The container information obivously, but it's ambiuous.)

The --engage option is there for users who know what they're doing, but I don't want to make it too easy for unexperienced users to shoot themselves in their feet.
