16:9 Aspect Ratio

A number of options exist for the 16:9 aspect ratio. I've listed the two formats best suited to the project: 


NTSC - 720 x 405 (letterbox - black bars at top + bottom) 
720P - 1280 x 720 (HD - we could burn a Blueray DVD) 

Both formats use a PIXEL ASPECT RATIO = 1.0 (SQUARE)


720P would be more flexible - you can downsample it to create a standard NTSC version - but obviously this comes at the cost of render time and file size.
