I think there are a bunch that would be useful:

1.37:1 - Old academy ratio
1.66:1 - Plenty of films used this in the past
1.85:1 - Tons of films still use this today
2.20:1 - Rare, but still used
2.39:1 - Comment below
2.40:1 - This, the above, and 2.35:1 are just about every movie these days
2.75:1 - Some big films shot in the '60s on 65mm were this ratio (Ultra Panavision 70)

I use MySQL for my library, and I fail to see why the ratios need to be calculated to floating point numbers. Wouldn't it be easier if they were just strings, like '16:9,' '4:3,' or '1.85:1'? Most of my movies aren't calculated correctly, like 1920x1080 will sometimes show up as 2.4, and 1920x1040 will show up as 1, and then be labeled as 4:3 in the actual program.

Thanks.
