That 'standard' comes from trawling many fora for how other developers handle sony thumbnails. It is a consensus number, determined by people seeing what Sony's software does and how the various devices deal with the thumbnails. There was more consensus on height than width, but there was general agreement that the result shouldn't be oversquare.

As for aspect ratio, do as you wish.
