The list of needed aspect ratios can easily grow as you have the normal print 
formats in different parts of the world, in europe we currently have 3:2, 
2:3, 3:4, 4:3, DIN paper sizes, 5:4 (monitor aspect), 16:9, 2.39:1 (IIRC, 
that would be wide screen DVD format if you were to create your own menus 
that could well come up). And that's just from the top of my head, I might 
have missed quite a lot that are important to other people. 

So my proposal would be to split up the aspect ratio into two float fields 
that allow entering a free form aspect just as such, an aspect x : y. If you 
would keep a history of the last 10 entered aspect ratios to be selected 
through a combobox that would be icing on the cake and make the whole 
selection superb... 

If you like I'll draw a picture of what I have in mind.
