Comment (by paulh):

 1. It would be better to wait for the fifos to be created rather than just
 put a arbitory sleep() in there I think.

 2. It's not actually the width and height of the video frames that
 determin the aspect ratio. You could have two files with the same
 resolution but will be displayed with different AR's. The AR tells the
 decoder/player how to scale the video to the correct dimensions so it will
 look right. The 1.4 value is used so we don't have to worry about  the
 precision the AR is stored in or how its been rounded. For example 4:3
 could be 1.3333333 or 1.33 or 1.34. I still need to be convinced by this
 one :-) What values for AR are you seeing that you need to do this?
