I'm glad someone else brought this up!!!

1280x960 is 5:4... it;'s wrong... all your pics are too wide. Don't belive me? Shoot a ball.. load pic onto PC... look at it on a 1280x1024 screen... it will be vertically squashed. The only exception to this is LCD screens with non-square pixels. Not ALL monitors do tho... so test it out. If your ball pic is looking vertically squashed at 1280x1024, then you should be running in 1280x960. If you have a CRT monitor, then you DEFINITELY should NOT use 1280x1024.. ever.
This is absolutely correct. I just drew a large circular mask, filled it with a solid fill and viewed it at both resolutions. At 1280 X 1024 it is definitely looking squished!
