With DVB, aspect ratio changes are not just allowed, 
they happen regularly if you receive programs that 
often show "old" (a few years) programs (Early two 
and a half man seasons) with intermittent 
commercial breaks.

We have samples with changing resolutions though 
which is rarer afaik.

(DVB == mpegts containing MPEG2 or H264)

MPlayer plays it fine, I would be surprised if 
WMP has any problems with it.
