>>TGA -> film recorder…
I don't know about a PCR film recorder, but the film recorder I ususally send
TGAs to uses a PIXEL aspect ratio of 1.0. I render 640×480 at 1.0 for low
resolution, but often use higher resolution such as 1024×768 or 2666×2000,
keeping the pixel aspect ratio at 1.0 and the image aspect ratio (horizontal
resolution divided by vertical resolution) at about 4/3=1.3333. This seems to
work ok. (The film recorder guy said the device could handle a vertical
resolution of up to 8000 pixels – wouldn't that make a big file!)
