Strictly speaking, a PAL 16:9 image from DVD at 720 x 576 should be stretched to 1050 x 576 for the correct AR, not 1024 x 576 as you might expect.

I have never heard this before.  Would you mind explaining it Moth3r?  I have always used 1024x576. 

Is it to do with overscan?

While I can see by the numbers that it would make the squish worse, I don't understand the 1050 part.  Does this mean I have made mistakes when I have downsized HDTV broadcasts to PAL?
