One more thing about this. When merged, these will deprecate
aspect_ratio, source_fps, real_width, and real_height. Of course, they
will not go away immediately, but I will convert all MLT's code over
to using the new properties. It just means, as far as maintenance is
concerned, no attention will be paid to the deprecated properties.
