Body: <p>I want to make a video 'wide', so the width is increased and the height stays the same as of the input image. I use the following command: <code>ffmpeg -i test.mp4 -vf scale=&quot;1000:200&quot; output.mp4</code>. It just does not work. The most interesting thing that it works with png images but not with videos.
  Example: video before:<a href="https://i.sstatic.net/Gg6M8.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/Gg6M8.jpg" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>

  I want to make a video 'wide', so the width is increased and the height stays the same as of the input image. I use the following command: `ffmpeg -i test.mp4 -vf scale="1000:200" output.mp4`. It just does not work. The most interesting thing that it works with png images but not with videos.

  I resolved this issue by setting the attached SAR (Sample/Storage Aspect Ratio):
  
  ```
  ffmpeg -i test.mp4 -vf scale=1000:200,setsar=1 output.mp4
  
  ```
