Same with some of my DVDs that are 720x576 - they look fine at 1024x576, at 1050x576 they look stretched.

I suppose it could just be that the DVDs were made "incorrectly".

Fortunately this isn't an issue in the HD world!
I just explained this. These DVDs don't follow ITU scaling and just assume a 64:45 stretch making 720x576 exactly 1024x576 and 704x576 into ~1001x576.
