If the source video/DVD is 16:9, I suggest you follow “Apple TV”>> “Apple TV H.264 1280*720(*.mp4) or “iPad”>> “iPad Video H.264 (*.mp4)”, which lead to iTunes compatible 720p MP4 video of stunning visual quality and correct aspect ration (16:9); for 4:3 video you’re encouraged to select “iPad”>> “iPad Video MPEG-4 (*.mp4), which results in 640*480 MP4 videos and still looks all right when playing in iTunes.
