Widescreen export + Adobe Premiere

Hi,

Another thing I'm having difficulty with.

Sorry if this is explained elsewhere, I have searched but could not find anything that helped.

I have exported my movies in MOHO as 1024x576 (PAL- 16:9).

I import them into Adobe Premiere to make the final cut, create a new project using DV - Pal, Widescreen (48khz)..... and the resolution is 720x576.

My understanding that this is the 'widescreen' resolution for TV, but when I watch my animation on a TV, it is not widescreen at all. There's nothing 'wide' about 720x576.. it just looks like a box on the TV.

When watching my movie on the computer at 1024x576, THAT is widescreen. How do I get this effect when I burn it to DVD??? It's driving me insane.

Thanks.

Easy solution to this one. In premiere in the clips bin, right click on the clip and you'll see an interpret footage option - select square pixels and everything will be hunky dorey - the clip will fill the widescreen as it should.

740*576 widescreen has a pixel which is not square - its 1:1.422. ie, optically compressed.
