        $ mediainfo foo.mkv

   Displayaspectratio
        $ mediainfo --Inform="Video;%DisplayAspectRatio%" foo.mkv
        $ mediainfo --Inform="Video;file://Video.txt" foo.mkv

       Both forms are equivalent if Video.txt contains:
        %DisplayAspectRatio%

   Displayaspectrationandaudioformat
        $ mediainfo --Inform="file://Text.txt foo.mkv

       If Text.txt contains:

       - "Video;%DisplayAspectRatio%"
           Then the display aspect ratio is printed out.

       - "Audio;%Format%"
