720x480 NTSC, 4/3 or 16:9, dvd I presume... neither have square pixels.

The output resolution should be 720x480. That's for the movie encoder.
You must have it encode the right bit about the image ratio, and not 
cropping frames to fit, (and maybe also specifiying the non-square pixel 
ratio), and progressive (vs interlaced) is probably simpler with 
computer generated pictures.

Now, the view is what must fit in the picture. and Either you know the 
ratio of the pixel for the format you want and then apply it as a 
correction factor in the up / right value, or you just get away with any 
image_width & image_height  and hard-coded the desired ratio.

up y
right 16/9*x

That was for DVD. (ratio of 720x480 is 1.5, neither 1:33 nor 16:9)

There is also now the HD-format (blu-ray and other).
Full HD is 1920x1080 (as 16:9), square pixel
HD-ready is 1280x720 (as 16:9), square pixel
