    in the uk it's slightly different - 720 by 576 for PAL, but the principles are same i believe.

    on my computer i work to 768 x 576 and then squish it to 720 in the final render. this is to do with the difference between square pixels - computer - and rectangular ones - broadcast.

    If for some reason i'm working on my computer to 720 then everything needs to be squashed to 93.75% of its width. my circles should look like eggs - if they look like circles then when the telly stretches them back out at the other end they will look like rugby balls. I find that confusing so i just prefer to work in 768 and squish it at all the end.

    hope that makes sense.
