  What size(s) are your images in pixels, and are they 4:3 or 16:9?

  4:3 frames have pixels where the height is 90% (0.9) of the width of a square pixel; 16:9 are approx. 120% (1.2) of the width of a square pixel. Stretch the image size vertically by that much and it should work correctly.

  Be sure to work on a duplicate of the original image and check the results on a broadcast monitor.
