Change SAR of x264 encoded video stream on Mac OS X

0028606 · 10th August 2010, 01:21

Hi, can any one help me with this, the only solution I can find seems to be a tool here to change SAR without re-encoding the video stream but it is only for Win32.
I know that I can set the a container flag with mkvtoolnix but this does not work well in this case, as the resulting file crashs the Popcorn hour. So I need to change the SAR from 4:3 to 16:9 in the stream it's self.

Can this be done on Mac OS X in any way.

Any help would be appreciated thanks.
