[Ana Maria Suarez] “but what is the output setting for BlueRay? ??? X ???”
Check Premiere’s Project Setting presets, there are several combinations of resolution, pixel aspect ratio and interlace or not that are legal for ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee)
[Ana Maria Suarez] “I assume most now are shooting in HD and output in DVD and BlueRay?”
Not for event videographers here…we just made the last VHS tape for a customer and bought a new VX2100. It is hard enough selling $30 DVDs.

Have you updated Premiere to 3.02? and selected the correct Project Preset?

[Ana Maria Suarez] “Many stations I see are just stretched to fit the screen.”
It is not the stations that do the stretching, it is the TV settings…it makes my eyes bleed!!
[Ana Maria Suarez] “I use a Canon GL1, should I shoot in 16:9 or regular?”
Shooting in 16:9 with your GL1 creates lots of issues for playback..stick with 4:3.
Once you get a HD camcorder then you can shoot in the HD mode and have the option to author a DVD or a Blu-ray version.

CS3 cannot handle Mpeg 2 files well. Either convert the files to DV type 2 or try Premiere Elements which was designed to handle consumer formats.

A DVD is often more dependable for projected presentations and the quality is better than anything but uncompressed and that wont play on most computers (bitrate too high).

The camera output (not input) probably is set to “Down Convert” or DV, not HDV.
