Resolution and aspect for the PAR is 752 x 480 x .85, the .85 being because 640 divided by 752 is .85. So, I figured that 640 divided by 720 means that I want to render at an aspect ratio of .89 for the PVR. When I render a sphere at 720 x 480 x .89, and then bring it into the PVR, it looks a bit squashed, or egged on the TV set. When I render the sphere at 720 x 480 x 1.0, it looks correct displayed on the TV through the PVR. Everyone is telling me that .89 is the right number, so why doesn't it look right?
