    I have a Sony SR200 camcorder which gives 16:9 mpeg2 as source and my target TV is 16:9 wide LCD screen.
    I would like to resize and fit few still images in Photoshop CS3 from SLR to the DVD in 16:9 format as slide show along with the mpeg2 footage. What should be my image width and height in pixels to match 16:9 DVD. I think just 720*480 is not going to work as it has 1:1 pixel aspect ratio.

    Please point me to some guide if available. Thanks.

    1.Crop your stills to get 16:9 (e.g. 1024x576)
    2.Resize the result to 720x480 for encoding with 16x9 flags. This should return correct proportions at playback.

    If you are using photoshop, chose the template for 16:9 NTSC Video with non-square pixels. You can work within this, and photoshop will take care of the re-scaling for you.
