John;

All my specs are on another computer.  I will refer to them in short order.
However, by dividing 480 by 9, one gets 53.3.  Multiplying 53.3 x 16 one
gets 853.33.  Kinda funny to call that a display aspect ratio of 16x9, isn't
it?  I need to refer to 13818-1 before I address the sample aspect ratio.
