    Question, when would you ever have 720×480 in Square pixels? I have someone requesting this and sent me settings for Compressor. I’ve never heard of this. I thought if the output was to be square pixels, it would be 640×480. 720×480 in only NTSC CCIR601/DV correct!

    Thought so. Even with 720×480 NTSC, QT 7 will display it as square pixels (655×480) unless you change the Presentation to Encoded Pixels under the Movie Properties menu. So the whole 720×480 square just seems wrong. Thx
