Well, I open it in Uleads Video Capture application. Since I thought it might be just a “view” type of problem, I captured there a JPEG photo and printed it out but I’m getting the same distorted faces.
As I mentioned before, I still do not understand how HDV 1080-50i format template – which to my understanding is 1440X1080 – IE 4:3 – can “live with” stills which are 2848X1602 – IE 16:9 – W/O getting the stills distorted ?

I guess you mean “match output aspect” (since there is also an option of “match source aspect”) – Well, I’ve tried and it does not help.

Mike,
Re: Hi-Def
I am confused – The teplate does say 16:9 aspect ratio but on the other hand the video stream is still defined on the template as 1440X1080 (4:3) – well ?
The whole issue came aboard when I mix, on the time line, Hi-Def 1080-50i video with 16:9 stills. It looks good while playing on the time line but when I render it (using the HDV 1080-50i template) the stills are coming stertched in the vertical axis (IE “long heads”). BTW my stills are 2848X1602 – 16:9.
Please advise,
Reg,
Joe

1. I found the source “keep aspect ratio” but could not find output – Where is it ?
2. In Hi-Def 1080i-50 render template (which generates m2t files) the video is defined as 1440X1080i – That is 4:3 format. How do I get template for the 16:9 and still get m2t files ?
