Quick follow up, there's also a tool that allows atom editing. Unfortunately not free and Windows only:

Hey Adrian,
I can't seem to find Dumpster anywhere.
All mentions of it refer to a very old tool no longer in development or
that can actually open under OSX.
Can you help? Do you have a copy?

Thanks,
Ron Ganbar

    Hi Adrian,
    Thanks!

    I believe the atom exists and so I'll check out dumpster.

    Thanks,

        Hi
        The question is: has your quicktime file the 'pasp' atom but it
        contains wrong values OR your file doesn't has any aspect ratio
        atoms ('pasp' or 'tapt') at all?
        There is small OSX application called Dumpster to inspect and
        edit quicktime file's structure. But Dumpster can't add or
        remove atoms- you can only edit some existing one. So if you
        file contains aspect ratio atoms you can simply edit them.
        There is no a simple way to manipulate quicktime files via
        Python but.... In 32-bit OSX Python builds there are Carbon
        modules which- among others- contains python bindings to
        Quicktime framework. With them you can manipulate quicktime
        files almost the same way like with sdk, but of course you need
        to know the Quicktime framework a little bit.
        Best
        Adrian

            I opened in Quicktime Pro, but there is no mention of pixel
            aspect ratio anywhere.
            I seem to remember that on this list someone took care of
            the gamma problem in H264 files by using Python code to
            remove an atom. Maybe something similar can be done for
            pixel aspect ratio?

                Have you tried to open the file in QuickTime Pro and
                check if there is some "atom" that you can change there
                to change this?

                    Hi all,
                    This is really a Quicktime question - but the answer
                    might lie in the wonderful Python capabilities of
                    Nuke, so it's worth a shot.
                    I have a Quicktime file that has a wrong pixel
                    aspect ratio. I just want to set the PAR to
                    something else without having to re-render the file.
                    Any idea if this is possible?
