True, the pixels are not square.  The aspect "default" seems identical to 5:4.

It seems so, with Stefan's DFB patch and my fresh video.c patch.
Stefan's right: also lxoff needs to be truncated: otherwise the
changing headline "BUSINESS", "SPORT" in your BBC News clip will
look bad on 5:4.  Especially the "O" character of "SPORT" displays
some Moiré-like pattern when lxoff is not truncated like this:
