FFmpeg setdar error

[Megafox]

I tried to change the pixel type from anamorphic to square by using the command "ffmpeg -i video.vob -c copy setdar=1:1 video11.vob", but the console just closed. Tried so "ffmpeg -i video.vob -vf "setdar=1/1" -c copy video11.vob", but the same thing. What is the problem?

iirc.

-vf setdar=dar=1/1

should be the way to do it,..
see: http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#toc-Examples-89

Copy exclude using video filter - you need to use proper bitstream filter https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-bitstream-filters.html#mpeg2_005fmetadata .

Also note that this won't change the data, it will only change the signaling. Thus if your source if anamorphic the output will be distorted when changing the signaling to square pixel.
