I have a Canon ZR850 Camcorder that records in 720x480 NTSC. I encode my movies to H264 mp4 files.

When I render the movies, should I render them at 720x480 or at 640x480?

This has something to do with NTSC pixels and square computer pixels. If I do 720, I get black bars on top and bottom, but if I do 640 the scene is pretty much filled with the exception of two very small black bars. Do I want to do 640 or stick with the NTSC 720?
