If the first bookmark happens to be a 16:9 -> 4:3 transition, you should
get the 4:3 content, right.

It might be more convenient to use two different conversions: "extract
4:3" and "extract 16:9". The first one would convert bookmarks with an
AR of 4:3 to START markers, and those with 16:9 AR to STOP markers,
while the second one works vice versa. Additionally, we could add an
option that strips leading STOP and trailing START markers afterwards.
