I'm shooting with the Canon XHA1 video camera. I'm just starting to shoot HD. The specs state that the camera shoots HD at 1440 x 1080 (16:9), but that is not an actual 16:9. The real 16:9 ratio would be 1920 x 1080. My question is 1. Why would they call 1440 x 1080 a 16:9 ratio, and 2. How do I handle that with my final output to DVD. Once I edit in Adobe Premiere Pro, should I bump up the output to 1920 x 1080 a true 16:9 ratio, or should I down size to 1280 x 720 also 16:9 ratio but within the original resolution.
Very strange and confusing.

Hi lcoleman01!
Thanks for the post!
I apologize if this has caused any confusion. The manual for the camera lists all of the resolutions available and it lists 1440 x 1080 as an SD 4:3 (Standard Def. 4:3) aspect ratio. It is also for still image recording. HD video is recorded at 1080i, which is an interlaced 1920 x 1080.
